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!

Looking for a pair of baby names that are mirror images of one another? If so, check out this long list of palindromic name pairings.

What’s a palindrome? It’s a word or phrase that can be read the same way in either direction, i.e., both forwards and backwards. For instance, the words “level,” “refer” and “pop” are all palindromes.

Each of the hundreds of pairings below features two names that contain the same sequence of letters, just written in opposite directions. (Nearly all of these names were collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names.)
