I’m attaching the full file here so you can see all the data. So ironic to go back and view some of the comments from last year’s results thread (click here!) and see how right (or wrong) we were about some of these names. Do any from this year’s list surprise you? Because I was surprised by some of these names this year!

This has been so much fun! See you again next summer and we’ll do it all again! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I would use most of these names.
Is anyone else surprised [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m] is so high?

lol me :joy:

I was very surprised! [name_f]Cosima[/name_f] for girls maybe, but Cosmo?! Anyway. There were a lot of weird outliers this year, [name_f]Kiara[/name_f] was in the girls top 10 for a weirdly long amount of time too.

This is a very [name_f]Berry[/name_f] list! I don’t feel like I see [name_m]Griffin[/name_m], [name_m]Abel[/name_m], or [name_m]George[/name_m] mentioned that often, but they do totally fit the “Berry” style.

I think the list has gotten more distinctly “Berry” since last year too! Lots of names that are less popular statistically compared to last year’s list.

Definitely seconding that this is a very [name_f]Berry[/name_f] list. So cool to see these results, thanks so much for doing this!

Yep definitely surprised!

Omg yay!! I love how [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] is number 1 (I could have broken that tie if one of my 2 Romans were off a letter!! and I do LOVE Rowan!)

I am also suprised about [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m]! And also second that I would use most of these names! It is a very berry list, in the best way :strawberry::blueberries:

Maybe I spend too much time on the forums but none really surprise me besides maybe [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] with this spelling and [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] and [name_m]George[/name_m] - like, I’m not thinking ??? more like, huh, people like them that much?

Thank you for sharing this!

This list is actually way less surprising to me than last years! [name_m]Linus[/name_m] is very interesting to see, as well as that spelling of [name_m]Caspar[/name_m]!

Hahaha I was torn between sharing the names that were tied (at the time you responded they were [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m], [name_m]Rowan[/name_m], and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but then [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m] got some votes), but in the end I decided I didn’t want to inadvertently influence the names people submitted!

Well because the sample size is fairly small, I do combine spellings. [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] collectively with [name_m]Casper[/name_m] or [name_m]Kaspar[/name_m] etc. ranked that high, but still, [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] usually wins over [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] so I was pleasantly surprised that [name_m]Caspar[/name_m] got more votes than [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] this time!

Hahaha we were wrong about [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] dropping in popularity last year though! :joy::joy:. I think what surprised me the most for the boys was [name_m]Cosmo[/name_m], WHERE did he come from?! Also a little surprised [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] won, until like the last 5 people shared their top 25s, [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] was winning by a fairly large margin, so I was pretty sure [name_m]Arthur[/name_m] and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] would’ve been this year’s #1s, but [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] is in my top 4 so I am not mad at this at all :joy::joy:
