Walker, Theodore, and several others were also among the fastest-rising names (absolute change) in 2021.

A couple of possible explanations for the relative rises…

  • Maykel Osorbo is a rapper/activist from Cuba who was jailed in mid-2022.
  • Dutton is a surname from the TV series Yellowstone. (And Cayce is similar to Kayce, a forename from Yellowstone.)

If you can explain any of the other rises, please leave a comment!
