Fun with Top Names

General Name Discussion
1

Yesterday, for no reason at all, I had some fun putting the top 50 US names from 2024 in order from my favorite to least favorite.
Emma, Elizabeth, Layla, Sophia, and Grace were my top 5 girls from the top 50.
Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Thomas, and Isaac were my top 5 boys from the top 50.

I tried to be honest and thoughtful as I went through. I surprised myself a few times and it was fun! Bottom was Victoria and Julian. Then I went and did 51-100. No surprise once I read the list that Alice and Ian won from those fifty.
Alice, Lyla, Anna, Lydia, Caroline
Ian, Jonathan, Theo, Josiah, Bennett

No real reason, just fun. May do some more this week if I have some free time. I wouldn’t ever use names this popular as a first name for a real child, but it was fun to see the lovely names that are up there (and to be kind of shocked at how popular some names are that I absolutely do not understand)

[name_f]My[/name_f] boys’ list didn’t surprise me much. I was super shocked, however, by my love for [name_f]Maya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], both of which I would normally brush off for their popularity! The overall trend of my favorite names being closer to the top than the bottom of the 100 was also surprising!
