Lainey, one of the fastest-rising girl names of 2023, is still on the rise thanks to country singer Lainey Wilson.

Scottie may have been influenced by Scotty Lyon, a young female character on the show Fargo.

And Baela was probably influenced by Baela Targaryen of the show House of the Dragon.

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