If you could choose the popularity of any 5 names what would they be and why?

If you could choose the popularity of any 5 names what would they be and why?

Eg. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] - #500 , [name_f]Persephone[/name_f] = #33 , [name_f]Makayla[/name_f] out of the top #1000

Mine would be -

[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] = #200
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] = #999
[name_u]Paisley[/name_u] = Out of the top 1000
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] = Out of the top 1000
[name_f]Isla[/name_f] = Out of the top 1000

I don’t have any specific numbers in mind, but I would probably selfishly rearrange my favourite names that are high up on the top 1000 so that they are less popular. I would move [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], and [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f] down in the ranks. I would bring [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] up though, so that they were still unusual, but not so much that everybody was jumping all over them. I think the happy medium for all my names would be right around 500.

I’d want all of my top names out of the top 1000 ([name_f]England[/name_f]/[name_m]Wales[/name_m] list), but I’d choose.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m]- Out of top 1000
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]- Out of top 1000
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]- Out of top 1000
[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]- Out of top 1000
[name_m]Hamish[/name_m]- Out of top 1000

I was thinking of [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] for both genders, but there are other reasons I probably still wouldn’t use.

[name_m]Bear[/name_m] - Move it up to just out of the top 1000 so it would be considered more acceptable as a given name
[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] - Continue to get less popular and leave the top 1000
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] - Drop out of the top 1000
[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] - Rise into just out of the top 1000 so pronunciation wouldn’t be such a problem
[name_f]Edith[/name_f] - Drop out of the top 200

I don’t have any specifics, but I would probably move all my favorites lower so that they would rise into style later. :slight_smile:

I would move [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] for a boy up more to about 300 and [name_u]Dakota[/name_u] for a boy too. I would bring down [name_f]Savannah[/name_f] in popularity to about maybe less than 500. If [name_u]Shay[/name_u] for a boy isn’t in the top 1000 I’d move it to about 750. And I’d move [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] for a boy down to like the 400.
