Which girl names increased the most in popularity from 2015 to 2016? Which ones decreased the most?
The SSA likes to answer this question by analyzing ranking differences within the top 1,000. I like to answer it by looking at raw number differences that take the full list into account. So let’s check out the results using both methods…
Girl Names: Biggest Increases, 2015 to 2016
Rankings
1. Kehlani, +2,487 spots — up from 3,359th to 872nd 2. Royalty, +618 spots — up from 1,150th to 532nd 3. Saoirse, +465 spots — up from 1,448th to 983rd 4. Ophelia, +396 spots — up from 976th to 580th 5. Aitana, +368 spots — up from 917th to 549th 6. Itzayana, +356 spots — up from 1,125th to 769th 7. Alessia, +348 spots — up from 1,175th to 827th 8. Kaylani, +301 spots — up from 1,056th to 755th 9. Avianna, +298 spots — up from 751st to 453rd 10. Nalani, +294 spots — up from 1,280th to 986th
Royalty was influenced by the R&B singer Chris Brown, whose daughter (b. 2014) and 7th album (2015) were both called Royalty.
Saoirse was influenced by Irish actress Saoirse Ronan — perhaps specifically by those American talk show appearances in which she talked to the hosts (Ellen DeGeneres, Stephen Colbert, etc.) about how to pronounce her name. Plus there was that widely circulated Ryan Gosling quote on the same topic (“It’s Ser-sha, like inertia”).
Alessia was influenced by singer/songwriter Alessia Cara.
Raw Numbers
1. Adeline, +1,700 baby girls — up from 2,403 to 4,103 2. Charlotte, +1,649 baby girls — up from 11,381 to 13,030 3. Riley, +1,390 baby girls — up from 5,720 to 7,110 4. Adaline, +971 baby girls — up from 902 to 1,873 5. Amelia, +864 baby girls — up from 9,838 to 10,702 6. Luna, +849 baby girls — up from 2,796 to 3,645 7. Emilia, +804 baby girls — up from 2,215 to 3,019 8. Camila, +765 baby girls — up from 5,271 to 6,036 9. Nova, +754 baby girls — up from 1,518 to 2,272 10. Evelyn, +708 baby girls — up from 9,352 to 10,060
Adeline and Adaline were influenced, at least initially, by the movie The Age of Adaline (2015).
Other names that saw raw number increases in the 200+ range included Eleanor, Teagan, Kinsley, Scarlett, Everly, Quinn, Aria, Remi, Harper, Penelope, Thea, Claire, Rowan, Hazel, Ruby, Blake, Aurora, Ivy, Harley, Eloise, Willow, Elena, Josephine, Alice, Blakely, Saylor, Nora, Leia, Iris, Margot, Isla, Freya, Samara, Joy, Zara, Eliana, Joanna, and Malia.
Girl Names: Biggest Decreases, 2015 to 2016
Rankings
1. Caitlin, -542 spots — down from 609th to 1,151st 2. Caitlyn, -462 spots — down from 598th to 1,060th 3. Katelynn, -402 spots — down from 652nd to 1,054th 4. Kaitlynn, -381 spots — down from 994th to 1,375th 5. Neriah, -344 spots — down from 943rd to 1,287th 6. Bryanna, -276 spots — down from 783rd to 1,059th 7. Kiley, -275 spots — down from 898th to 1,173rd 8. Yaritza, -271 spots — down from 935th to 1,206th 9. Denise, -210 spots — down from 993rd to 1,203rd 10. Kaelyn, -203 spots — down from 521st to 724th
Caitlin, Caitlyn, Katelynn, and Kaitlynn, were negatively influenced by Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce Jenner), who appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in mid-2015 with the headline “Call me Caitlyn.”
This reminds me of what happened a few decades ago to Hillary — another name that was strongly associated for a time with a female who wasn’t conforming to gender norms. Perhaps tellingly, the name Bruce wasn’t hit nearly as hard. Jenner did fall of the charts, though.
Raw Numbers
1. Sophia, -1,311 baby girls — down from 17,381 to 16,070 2. Alexa, -1,289 baby girls — down from 6,049 to 4,760 3. Madison, -1,090 baby girls — down from 10,072 to 8,982 4. Emma, -1,001 baby girls — down from 20,415 to 19,414 (…but still the #1 name overall) 5. Aubrey, -869 baby girls — down from 7,376 to 6,507 6. Isabella, -852 baby girls — down from 15,574 to 14,722 7. Emily, -840 baby girls — down from 11,766 to 10,926 8. Kylie, -753 baby girls — down from 4,149 to 3,396 9. Alexis, -744 baby girls — down from 3,406 to 2,662 10. Abigail, -672 baby girls — down from 12,371 to 11,699
Other names that saw raw number drops in the 200+ range included Kaitlyn, Avery, Allison, Alyssa, London, Kaylee, Sofia, Katelyn, Kimberly, Zoey, Mia, Chloe, Kendall, Taylor, Sadie, Khloe, Mackenzie, Hannah, Peyton, Addison, Samantha, Ashley, Olivia, Gabriella, Brianna, Lauren, Anna, Brooklyn, Morgan, Jocelyn, Sydney, Natalie, Victoria, Makayla, Zoe, Hailey, Payton, Brooke, Annabelle, Trinity, Keira, Adalyn, Jordyn, Kayla, Molly, Audrey, Faith, Madelyn, Lillian, Caitlin, Caitlyn, Makenzie, Paige, Aaliyah, Paisley, Nevaeh, Elizabeth, Amy, and Jessica.
Interesting how certain like-names went in opposite directions last year. Leia, Alessia, and Adaline rose; Leah, Alyssa, and Adalyn fell.
Do you have any other explanations/guesses about any of the names above? If so, please comment!
(In 2015, the big winners were Alexa and Alaia, and the big losers were Isabella and Isis.)
Maryland’s Open Data website includes a small table of popular baby names. It’s based on data from 2011, so it’s a bit out of date, but it does include top-10 lists for several different racial/ethnic groups.
This is cool because New York City does the very same breakdown, and we happen to have the equivalent NYC baby name rankings (2011). So we ought to be able to compare and contrast the two sets of rankings, right?
Yeah, that’s what I thought…until I started looking more closely at Maryland’s data.
According to the SSA, these were the top 10 boy names in Maryland in 2011:
Mason
Jacob
Michael
Ethan
Ryan
William
Alexander
Noah
Daniel
Aiden (tied for 10th)
Jayden (tied for 10th)
But according to the state of Maryland, the top 10 boy names were quite different:
Rank
OVERALL
Asian & Pacific Isl.
Black
Hispanic
White
1
Aiden
Aiden
Jaiden
Christopher
Lucas
2
Christopher
Lucas
Aiden
Anthony
Mason
3
Jayden
Alexander
Christopher
John

Mason
Muhammed
Cameron
Alexander
Jacob
5
Lucas
Ethan
Elijah
Daniel

6
Jacob
Nathan
Jeremy
Matthew

7

Brian
Alexander
8
Nathan
Andrew
Isaiah
Justin
Liam
9
Michael
Justin
Mason
Jaiden
William
10
Ethan
Jacob
Caleb
Kevin
Ryan
It isn’t totally implausible that Aiden and Jayden ranked 1st and 3rd in 2011, but Christopher in 2nd? Maybe if this were a dataset from thirty years ago, but not five years ago. The SSA indicates that Christopher ranked closer to 18th in the state that year.
And what’s with the two different spellings of Jayden/Jaiden?
Plus there are some sizable raw number discrepancies, such as:
Aiden: 588 babies (MD data) vs. 281 babies (SSA data for MD)
Christopher: 584 babies (MD data) vs. 256 babies (SSA data for MD)
Jayden: 498 babies (MD data) vs. 281 babies (SSA data for MD)
Mason: 463 babies (MD data) vs. 432 babies (SSA data for MD)
And now the girl names. According to the SSA, these were the top 10 girl names in Maryland in 2011:
Sophia
Olivia
Isabella
Madison
Ava
Emma
Abigail
Chloe
Emily
Elizabeth
According to the state of Maryland, though, the top 10 girl names in the state were these:
Rank
OVERALL
Asian & Pacific Isl.
Black
Hispanic
White
1
Sophia
Sophia
Chloe
Sophia

Isabel

Abigail

Genesis

9

Payton
Gabrielle
McKenzie
10
Riley
Lillian/Lily
Taylor
Kimberly
Chloe
Not only does Isabel magically replace Isabella in the Maryland data, but McKenzie and Riley rank 8th and 10th — even though the SSA says they should be closer to 77th (!) and 28th.
Not to mention the raw number discrepancies, such as:
Sophia: 503 babies (MD data) vs. 367 babies (SSA data for MD)
McKenzie: 325 babies (MD data) vs. 71 babies (SSA data for MD)
Riley: 298 babies (MD data) vs. 118 babies (SSA data for MD)
Intriguing parallels between the MD data and the NYC data do exist. In both locations, Elijah and Isaiah were in the top 10 for African-American boys only, and London, Aaliyah, and Taylor were in the top 10 for African-American girls only.
But if we can’t trust the data, we can’t draw any meaningful conclusions.
Labels like “Caitlin/Kate,” “Sara(h),” “Zoe(y)” and “Lillian/Lily” suggest that variant names were combined here and there. I suspect this is also what happened with Isabel/Isabella, Sophia/Sofia, Aiden, Jayden, MacKenzie, Riley, and maybe even Christopher (perhaps Maryland merged all the “Chris-” names?). What are your thoughts on this?
Wondering what the most popular K-names for baby girls are? How about R-names?
Below are the 10 most popular girl names for each letter, A through Z. (The parenthetical notations show how the current rankings differ from the 2012 rankings.)
The four new #1 names that emerged in 2013 were Charlotte, which replaced Chloe, Delilah, which replaced Destiny, Harper, which replaced Hannah, and Lillian, which replaced Lily.
Once upon a time, the U.S. Social Security Administration put out annual twin name rankings (that is, rankings of the pairs of baby names given most frequently to sets of U.S. twins).
It all started in 2005 with simple, single-list rankings. Things got more interesting in 2009, when the SSA began splitting the rankings into gender-specific sub-rankings. Then in 2012, nothing. The updates stopped coming.
Now we have seven years’ worth of official twin name data from the U.S. government…and that’s it.
I used to keep these rankings in my directory, but they are so out-of-date now that I think it’s best to archive them in a single blog post, for easy reference. So, without further ado, here are the top baby names for twins born in the United States from 2005 to 2011 (in reverse order):
1. Jacob, Joshua (55 sets) 2. Matthew, Michael (52) 3. Daniel, David (50) 4. Jayden, Jordan (41) 5. Jayden, Jaylen (38) 6. Elijah, Isaiah (36) 7. Isaac, Isaiah (36) 8. Ethan, Evan (31) 9.

Isabella, Isaiah (10) 19. Madison, Michael (10) 20. Addison, Andrew (9) 21. Chloe, Connor (9) 22. Emma, Jack (9) 23. Nicholas, Sophia (9) 24. Noah, Sophia (9) 25. Olivia, Owen (9) 26. Zachary, Zoe (9) 27. Zachary, Zoey (9) 28. Brian, Brianna (8) 29. Caleb, Chloe (8) 30. Ethan, Isabella (8) 31. Grace, John (8) 32. Isabella, Michael (8) 33. Jacob, Jillian (8) 34. Jada, Jayden (8) 35. James, Julia (8) 36. Landon, London (8) 37. Lily, Luke (8) 38. Olivia, William (8) 39. Samuel, Sophia (8) 40. Sophia, William (8) 41. Abigail, Alexander (7) 42. Abigail, Benjamin (7) 43. Alexander, Ava (7) 44. Andrea, Andrew (7) 45. Andrew, Emily (7) 46. Ava, John (7) 47. Ava, Noah (7) 48. Emily, Ryan (7) 49. Emma, James (7) 50. Hannah, Noah (7)
Observations on the 2009 rankings:
#9 and #44 on the girl-girl list are “Mackenzie, Madison” and “Madison, Mckenzie.”
#15 and #23 on the girl-girl list are both “Gabriella, Isabella.” There was probably supposed to be a spelling difference somewhere, but the SSA had the pairings listed identically.
#8, #9 and #34 on the girl-boy list are “Jayda, Jayden,” “Jada, Jaden” and “Jada, Jayden.”
#10 on the girl-boy list is “Aidan, Nadia” — the only pair of anagram names I’ve spotted on these twin lists (besides Heaven/Nevaeh, of course).
#26 and #27 on the girl-boy list are “Zachary, Zoe” and “Zachary, Zoey.”
