Here are the top baby names coming in favor and going out of favor. I'm happy to see that Daisy and Elliott are not on any of these lists. Neither are they on the Top 100 names of 2008 OR the list of trends for 2009.

So it will be either Daisy for Elliot for baby McDaid? Somehow I thought you had another two names picked out before you got pregnent?
