Girl Names in Top 500 (never in top 100) pt. 1

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. This list is broken up since it would be way too long with all of them!

I have a feeling that when the 2019 list comes out some of these names are going to have risen quite a bit!

Definitely agreed! Most of these seem to be trending upward. I’d initially assumed this list would have more stable/classic but less common names, but I guess it makes sense there’d be some that may soon break upwards into the top 100.

My favorites from this list are [name_f]Ximena[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Ayla[/name_f], and [name_f]Callie[/name_f]!

I’m surprised that [name_f]Amaya[/name_f], [name_u]Eden[/name_u], [name_u]Parker[/name_u], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Amara[/name_f], and [name_f]Summer[/name_f] haven’t been in the top 100, especially [name_f]Summer[/name_f]!

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing. It will be so interesting to see how these names fare when the 2019 data is finally released. I agree that several of these may well have hit the Top 100 for the first time!

I know! [name_f]Summer[/name_f] is like the quintessential “hippie” name and the fact that it never broke the top 100 is crazy!

This is a wonderful list you are putting together. Thank you.

Surprises for me. [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. As an older name I imagined that would have been in the top 100 at some point. Of more modern names, [name_u]Eden[/name_u] and [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. Perhaps just because I like them, I notice them more, but it feels like they are more common than what they really are.

@EagleEyes it seems four of us at least so far are surprised by [name_f]Summer[/name_f]. I agree totally.

No problem! Thanks for commenting! I feel the same though, I have some faves on here and I feel like I see them everywhere, but I must just be hyperaware of them!

I only knew this one because I found the name for my sister-friend’s character off the list.

I had never heard of this name before doing this list so I didn’t know it was so popular!
