So, the 2021 name data is out! I was thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to see what names from the 2021 top 100 also appear in the 1921 top 100? Everyone is always talking about the 100 Year [name_m]Rule[/name_m] after all! So, here they are 
And apologies if anyone else has done something similar - I couldn’t find anything when I searched, but let me know if so!

So! There’s all the names that appear on both the 1921 and 2021 top 100s… are you guys surprised? Which are your favourites? I was expecting there to be more names that featured on both lists, but a lot of names from 1921 fall just outside of the 2021 top 100 list (200s-400s). So, gaining in popularity in the future maybe? Perhaps it’s more like a 110 or 120 Year [name_m]Rule[/name_m]!
Interestingly, there’s the same number names that appear on both lists for boys and for girls - 19, to be exact. But the boys names tend to come from the top end of the 1921 list, whereas the girls names are more spread out in popularity in that regard. Cool huh?
Let me know what you guys think!
