I know of siblings under 4 named Thea and Silas! Two of my favorite names, Ada and Iris, aren’t on this list, but very well could be.
They definitely could! Here are the graphs for Ada and Iris. Thanks Jessie!
This is by far my favorite list for names. I’m always in need for some common, but not too common, names in my works. Thank you so much for making this, it’s really helpful!
