I have been meaning to do this post for about 6 months and am finally getting around to it. This is one of my most researched posts but it should be pretty exciting to do the stats I am using are from 2005-2008 as babies aren’t going to buying personalised name stampers. Sorry if it’s really long it was interesting to research. Lastly for the average I have used the full name for the nicknames ranking as most Ben’s and Sam’s are actually Benjamin’s and Samuel’s.

This is really interesting. How did you do the stats for this, Ebony, and what personalised items did you survey?
I used NSW’s baby name explorer as it has older stats and more than one year. They were personalised name stampers, I took a photo of the names available back in december.
Oh I see – an Australian company, I guess?
Assuming so since the products were in a store in WA
Oh ok. Good research!
Thanks Anna
