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

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.

I like [name_f]Nayeli[/name_f], [name_u]Skye[/name_u], [name_u]Tatum[/name_u], [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], [name_f]Lainey[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Emelia[/name_f], [name_u]Cataleya[/name_u], [name_f]Liana[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], and [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]!

I’m surprised [name_u]Skye[/name_u] hasn’t ranked in the top 100- maybe the [name_u]Sky[/name_u] spelling is more popular, or a lot of girls called [name_u]Sky[/name_u] have [name_u]Skyler[/name_u]/Skylar as their official name?

My favorites are [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Viviana[/name_f], [name_u]Blair[/name_u], [name_f]Helena[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_f]Malaysia[/name_f].
I am surprised that [name_u]Abby[/name_u] isn’t that popular, to be honest.

I love this! Would love to see a UK version as [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] for example is very common here.

I think that’s probably the case! [name_u]Skylar[/name_u] seems to be the default name and the other variants like “[name_u]Sky[/name_u]/Skye” are just usually the nn!

I’d love to make a UK version of this list but I’d have to see when I get to it! I’m working on the boy’s version next!

The thing that stood out to me most on this list is that [name_f]Eve[/name_f] has never been higher than 414. That shocked me.

What an amazing list this has been though.

@EagleEyes I was sad to see [name_u]Skye[/name_u] had ranked so low too. I love that spelling but you might be right, or perhaps [name_u]Sky[/name_u]/Skye/Skylar/Skyler variations just keep the totals lower for any one of them.

I also like [name_u]Tatum[/name_u] too.

Matilda ranked 101 in 1880. So close and yet so far.

I think it took [name_f]Eve[/name_f] about a few thousand years to get forgiven by people for the “forbidden fruit” thing lol! I can imagine a lot of people worrying about that connotation! Thank you for the compliment! I’m going to release the boy’s version tomorrow throughout the day in a similar manner and that one has some really shocking ones!

I am curious to see the boy one. It feels like there is less variation in the most common boy names and so I imagine the top 500 excluding the top 100 might be longer? But then to counter that, there seems more creativity around girl names so maybe not.

And what a teaser you have given us :slight_smile: [name_m]Can[/name_m]’t wait to see.
