| Great idea for a quiz. I can't believe I didn't get Lily, Jasmine or Heather! I was surprised that Dahlia isn't on there, or Poppy. |

| A couple others that probably missed the cut by a little are Laurel and Daphne. This was probably my favorite "baby names" quiz because it actually required some thought. Well done! |

| I would have expected to see May. May is not only the name of a month, but also the standard English name for the hawthorn flower. |

| Good quiz. Thought I had a pattern established, but Parsley, Sage, and Thyme didn't make the cut. |

| Good idea. Wonder if Jasmine has climbed the ranks due to Disney's "Aladdin" and Lily has jumped up because of Lily Potter. |

| @Triffid: I think the main name for hawthorn is hawthorn and may is an alternate (Wikipedia lists it this way also, which is how I made some of the other determinations). I'll add it as a bonus, though! |

| To those of you mentioning plants/gems that really are used as names: if it's not here, it wasn't popular enough to ever be one of the 5 most used in a given year. |

| I'm surprised people use Ginger as an official name, when it's a common (and not always positively intended) nickname for someone with red/orange hair. Unless that's just in Britain? Over here, calling a child 'Ginger' would be as odd as calling it 'Blue Eyes' or 'Brunette'. |

| Ginger is a British term that was only recently introduced to the US via South Park. In the US the usual term is redhead. :) |

| The only thing I don't get is why combine gems with plants? Why not just the top 5 plant/female names for each year? Is it just that there wouldn't be enough variety in the answers because it would be the same 5 answers every year? If that's the case then I get it but otherwise it seems sort of random to combine gems and plants. |

| @LettucePray...on the one hand, right on. On the other hand, Ginger Rogers was a stage name. Her real name was Virginia Katherine McMath (assuming Wikipedia can be trusted). Maybe Ginger Lynn would have been a better example. Less famous (though much more famous to a certain segment of the public) but Ginger is apparently her actual name. |

| I'm really surprised Willow didn't make it on here. I guess I wrongly assumed it is more popular as a name than it is. @ivyagogo: I guessed Ivy! I think it's a pretty name. |
