Everyone Has A List Of The Most Popular Baby Names For The Year

I jumped on the baby name bandwagon this year and did 2 articles:

What Names To Avoid When Naming Your Baby In 2024

Baby Center wrote the article we all need: Baby names losing popularity in 2024. Sometimes, knowing what NOT to do is more powerful than knowing what to do. The same can be said when considering a name for your child.

As a Tammie, I'd like to throw in my opinion. Don't go for names like Tammie. There were literally 5 Tammie's in my graduating class at Great Falls High. If it's the most popular name of the year, I'd skip it unless your heart is just set on it. I despise having a popular name. So does my daughter, Taylor.

Now let's talk spelling. Let's use the name Tammie. You can spell it:

Tammie
Tami
Tammi
Tamy
Tammy
Tammee (I've only seen this once, thank god)
Tammeigh (WHAT?)
Tammey

The point I'd like to make is that even though I prefer MY spelling of Tammie, my teachers and other adults would argue with me how my name should be spelled (!) and I have never ever ever been able to buy anything pre-made with my name on it. It is always one of these 2 choices: Tammy (the one I hate most of all) or Tami (my second favorite). Either way you cut it, neither of those spellings are me. I'm Tammie.
