Boy Names in the Top 500 (never in top 100) pt. 4

General Name Discussion
1

Names that have never been in the top 100 but are currently in the top 500 (this information comes from SSA 2018 list). The 2019 information has of right now not been released so this is as current as I can get! I’m putting their current rank, and the highest they’ve ever been plus the year that happened! For some of them, 2018 is their highest year. All these names have not been in the top 100 since at least 1880.

All those names are just :heart_eyes:

I think that [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_m]Esteban[/name_m], & [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m] are especially underrated around here!

I’m surprised by how many of these names are on my list.

I love [name_m]Zayne[/name_m] (tho I prefer the [name_m]Zane[/name_m] spelling), [name_m]Matthias[/name_m], [name_u]Sterling[/name_u], [name_m]Elian[/name_m] (I’m surprised it’s not [name_u]Elias[/name_u] that’s on this list), [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_m]Ruben[/name_m] ([name_m]Rueben[/name_m] is a better spelling imo), [name_u]Raiden[/name_u] (very shocked by this one), [name_m]Ezequiel[/name_m] (this spelling makes me cringe. The original [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] spelling is much better imo), and [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] (I figured [name_u]August[/name_u] would be higher on the list than [name_m]Augustus[/name_m]).

The ones whose spellings you prefer I believe have either all been in the top 100 or are way higher so the mass people definitely agree with you! [name_u]August[/name_u] was actually in the top 100 in the late 1800s so it couldn’t come up on this list, but it’s been out of the top 100 since 1892! [name_u]Elias[/name_u] is actually in the top 100 right now! But I was also shocked at how many of my favorite names weren’t more popular in the last 140 years!

Love seeing [name_u]Eden[/name_u] for a boy. Other ones I like are [name_u]Peyton[/name_u], [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_m]Maximillian[/name_m], [name_u]Milan[/name_u], [name_m]Ronin[/name_m], [name_u]Memphis[/name_u] (seems an odd one for the UK), [name_m]Augustus[/name_m], [name_u]Skyler[/name_u] and [name_u]Kieran[/name_u].

This is a US name list! In case you were wondering why it seemed weird to use [name_u]Memphis[/name_u]!

Also, yes! I love some of those other names!
