Three-quarters of the way through the year, we check in again with the most popular girls’ names 2010, nameberry style.

　　Once again, Charlotte heads the list of most-searched girls’ names on nameberry. In the number two spot is Violet, and former number two Seraphina has dropped to third place.

　　A note on tabulation: These lists represent the most-searched names on nameberry for January through September of 2010. Previously, we published the lists of most-searched girls’ names 2010 for the first half of the year, and before that for the first quarter.

　　This time around, a surprising 11 new girls’ names vaulted onto the Top 100. The newly-popular choices (in order of appearance on the list) are:

　　Eva

　　Olive

　　Eden

　　Annabel

　　Millie

　　Elodie

　　Rory

　　India

　　Mabel

　　Frances

　　Aurelia

　　Following are the names moving up the list for the second quarter in a row. Previously, we’d said not to pay too much attention to shifts up or down, but after two bumps up in a row, we start to wonder whether we smell a trend.

　　Violet

　　Imogen

　　Adelaide

　　Harper

　　Clementine

　　Beatrice

　　Flora

　　Margaret

　　Coco

　　Pearl

　　Julia

　　The girls’ names making the biggest gains up the baby names 2010 list include:

　　Adelaide

　　Aurora

　　Genevieve

　　Flora

　　Celia

　　Pearl

　　Mae

　　Here are the 11 girls names not among the Top 100 this time around. Many of these choices are, to me, not so surprising: they’re names that people have been hearing for longer and so may be less curious about.

　　Remember, these lists represent not what names people are choosing for their children, but which names they’re searching on nameberry, so it’s a sure bet that while a more familiar name like Emily is getting less search attention than a newcomer such as Elodie, in the end more parents will choose the safer Emily.

　　Emily

　　Georgia

　　Sophie

　　Natalie

　　Leah

　　Harlow

　　Lulu

　　Jessica

　　Jillian

　　Lauren

　　Abigail

　　Girls’ names moving down for the second quarter in a row are, in order of their rank on the list:

　　Chloe

　　Avery

　　Rose

　　Sarah

　　Mia

　　Ellie

　　Lydia
