Retired One-Hit Wonder Baby Names
| 1 June 2010 | Filed under Baby Names, Boy Names, Girl Names, Unique Baby Names |
A few years ago I wrote a series of posts on one-hit wonder baby names (i.e. baby names that had cracked the U.S. top 1,000 just once).
Since then, nine of those one-hits have climbed back into the top 1,000. So technically they aren’t one-hits anymore.
| Former One-Hit | Original Year | Re-entry Year |
|---|---|---|
| Mila | 1881 | 2006 |
| Beckham | 1903 | 2008 |
| Alannah | 1990 | 2007 |
| Yamilet | 2000 | 2007 |
| Heidy | 2004 | 2008 |
| Jayvon | 2004 | 2007 |
| Adin | 2005 | 2007 |
| Damari | 2005 | 2009 |
| Makhi | 2005 | 2008 |
As far as I can tell, none of the other one-hit names (from the 1880s, 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, or 2000s) have come back…yet.
