Holy Cow! I was just looking at Name Nerds! where they have a baby name popularity list that includes all spellings. It is so cool to look at and gives you [name]IMO[/name] a better look at name popularity. The boys’ list is amazing: over 85,000 boys named (including all spellings) [name]Aiden[/name], [name]Jaden[/name], [name]Caden[/name] and [name]Braden[/name]! If you include [name]Zaiden[/name], [name]Raiden[/name], [name]Hayden[/name], Draden, [name]Tayden[/name] too it’s over 96,000!
Names like [name]Charlotte[/name] drop from 45 to 66, due to the many different spellings and [name]Liliana[/name] which is #124, jumps to 60 with all the different spelling included. Very cool! I’ve heard a bunch of parents say they like [name]Adalyn[/name], which is #256, but it jumps to 91 once all those other spellings are included.
