	Excellent quiz. "Aryan" and "Alivia" really made me groan, though.

	recklessness:	Oct 11th, 2010 at 21:55 GMT		3 points
	A bit surprised not see Agnes, Anita and Avril up there.

	Anne13:	Oct 15th, 2010 at 04:15 GMT		4 points
	Good quiz, but better contrast is needed in the answer columns.

	bubblegumkitty:	Oct 15th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT		3 points
	I'll make the text white

	lucia:	Nov 20th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT		8 points
	its truly ridiculous how many spellings there are for "Allison"

	nightfloat:	Nov 28th, 2010 at 19:35 GMT		4 points
	The colors are bad on the eyes, but otherwise I love this quiz. Did you just give up on girls past #648? I might not have noticed except that I was looking for Araceli. It might be nice to reach the same point on both the girls' and boys' side - maybe A names from the top 750 for each.

	bubblegumkitty:	Nov 28th, 2010 at 23:05 GMT		4 points
	The problem is that quizzes can only have 200 answers, and there were less than 100 boy names in the top 1000 so I filled the rest with girl names. Maybe it would make more sense to even the numbers out, but I wanted to fit as many names as I could. Anyone have opinions on what would be the best thing to do?

	VanessaE:	Dec 5th, 2010 at 19:16 GMT		5 points
	Great quiz! THe only thing that would make it more appealing to me personally is to make several columns instead of the 2 long ones. This way more fits onto my screen without me having to scroll down :)

	bubblegumkitty:	Dec 6th, 2010 at 00:53 GMT		3 points
	@VanessaE- I agree about the columns. Only thing is, I couldn't make it work without messing up the quiz format. Are there any sporcleusers who know how to make more columns without losing the hint grouping?

	lucia:	Dec 12th, 2010 at 14:46 GMT		2 points
	how come there is no ANA? I dont think thats right

	lucia:	Dec 13th, 2010 at 01:38 GMT		3 points
	@bubblegumkitty i was thinking, maybe you should do one for boys and one for girls in this case, since theres not enough room, like the guy who did it with "J" names did

	bubblegumkitty:	Dec 16th, 2010 at 03:58 GMT		1 point
	Well, most letters don't overflow. In fact, ones like F, G, and I barely have any. Also, I can only contribute 11 quizzes per month, so it will take a long, long time to get all of those made. By then I'm afraid more and more people will have continued by quizzes without asking me, which has been happening : /

	bubblegumkitty:	Dec 16th, 2010 at 04:04 GMT		2 points
	I want to put it out there that I'm the original creator of these name quizzes and I will make one for every letter, promise! I would greatly appreciate it if people would stop continuing my series. If you're going to make similar name quizzes, choose a different year/decade/country. This way there'll be a larger variety of name quizzes out there. Get creative. Get original. Don't copy me, please :)

	bubblegumkitty:	Jan 3rd, 2011 at 00:28 GMT		3 points
	@lucia- I made a mistake. It didn't seem right that Ana wasn't on there b/c I thought I saw it on the list. It's ranked 182 among girl names. I added it and (had to remove Annalise to fit it)

	newenglander:	Jan 8th, 2011 at 02:41 GMT		4 points
	atticus!? I only guessed that since i'm reading to kill a mockingbird

	charolastra:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 03:05 GMT		5 points
	Never in my life have I met an Ava. I guess that will change.

	mswn:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 08:58 GMT		4 points
	I tried to think of every stupid way there could be to spell "Aidan," and I still missed one! Gah.

	Meltha:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 21:13 GMT		2 points
	I'm as much of a Whedon fan as you're likely to meet, and I still wouldn't name my son that until I had the same mentality as the father in Cash's "A Boy Named Sue."

	ahh:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 20:41 GMT		15 points
	I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.

	PandaTinker:	Feb 8th, 2011 at 23:18 GMT		6 points
	Anfernee. Oh. Ouch. Though that's probably still better than Aryan. Seriously folks? Aryan?

	tomjohn116:	Feb 17th, 2011 at 19:13 GMT		3 points
	4 ways to spell aiden? what? no way.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Apr 25th, 2011 at 00:14 GMT		3 points
	@tomjohn: I counted 9 different ways to spell Aiden - including Aden, Aydan, Aedan, etc.

	modeofevasion:	May 30th, 2011 at 14:38 GMT		1 point
	no arnold, surprise

	sunshinegirl67:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 03:45 GMT		3 points
	I wonder what people think when they name their kid 'Aryan', because it probably isn't what I'm thinking...

	bubblegumkitty:	Jul 2nd, 2011 at 22:48 GMT		2 points
	I added the rest of the girl names since Sporcle changed the answer limit to 300. Also, much of the data I had had changed on the SSA website from when I first made this quiz. I updated this quiz to match the new data but statistics may be skewed now.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Aug 19th, 2011 at 12:56 GMT		3 points
	Ana's on there twice now - #181 & #561

	maekd:	Sep 1st, 2011 at 00:55 GMT		4 points
	Aryan- WOWZERS I hope that's not indicative of anything. How did 62% of people guess Alondra?

	bubblegumkitty:	Sep 2nd, 2011 at 00:03 GMT		1 point
	@maekd- 62% may not have gotten Alondra; my guess is a more common name was in its place and when I fixed the quiz and added in the rest of the answers (after Sporcle raised the max number per quiz to 300), the stats probably got messed up.

	aznemesis:	Nov 21st, 2011 at 02:32 GMT		1 point
	"I have a nephew named Anfernee" The only reason I've ever heard that name is because of Penny Hardaway. How would your nephew feel about being called "Penny" instead? ;)

	myb555:	Nov 24th, 2011 at 16:24 GMT		2 points
	"Alexzander" makes me wonder: Did the parents who named their children that just want a cool spelling variation, or where they stupid enough to think there was a "z" in "Alexander"

	OnceKnewSoMuch:	Dec 29th, 2012 at 06:17 GMT		1 point
	Aryan is a common name in India, meaning noble, it's totally unassociated with the western connotation of the word

	Door:	Apr 30th, 2013 at 18:27 GMT		2 points
	This quiz should be called "50 different ways to spell Allison/Addison" (or a dozen other perfectly normal names butchered by creative spelling). Ugh.
