What gave the baby name Arielle a boost in 1988?

The character Arielle from the TV series "General Hospital" (1963-)
Arielle Ashton from “General Hospital

The baby name Arielle was already on the rise when it suddenly doubled in usage in 1989:

  • 1990: 1,569 baby girls named Arielle [rank: 185th]
  • 1989: 1,530 baby girls named Arielle [rank: 185th]
  • 1988: 653 baby girls named Arielle [rank: 368th]
  • 1987: 341 baby girls named Arielle [rank: 581st]
  • 1986: 318 baby girls named Arielle [rank: 604th]

Similar spellings (like Ariele, Aurielle, Arrielle, Aryelle, and Aerielle) also saw higher usage that year.

Like most Ariel-based names, Arielle went on to reach peak usage in 1991, thanks to The Little Mermaid. But the animated film wasn’t released until November of 1989 — so it couldn’t have affected Arielle prior to 1989, and wouldn’t have affected it very much in 1989 either. (The usage of Ariel itself only increased by 41% that year.)

Instead, I think a character on the long-running ABC soap opera General Hospital was influencing the name during the last two years of the 1980s.

In October of 1988, Lady Arielle Ashton (played by actress Jane Higginson) sailed into fictional Port Charles on a yacht with her husband, Lord Larry Ashton. The man who became the ship’s mechanic, Colton Shore, happened to be Arielle’s former lover. Arielle and Colton came close to resuming their relationship, but Colton ultimately chose Felicia over Arielle, and Arielle left Port Charles (alone) in May of 1989.

What are your thoughts on the spelling Arielle? (Do you like it more or less than Ariel?)

Anagram baby names (8 letters)

Looking for a set of baby names with something in common? If so, here are some 8-letter anagram names for you to check out!

Anagrams are words that contain the same set of letters, but not in the same sequence. For instance, the words “predator,” “parroted,” and “teardrop” are all anagrams of one another.

Anagram names can be a neat option for siblings — particularly multiples (like twins and triplets). They’re also a clever way to connect a baby name to the name of an older relative (e.g., grandpa Laurence, grandson Cerulean).

Below are hundreds of eight-letter names (collected from the SSA’s huge database of U.S. baby names) that happen to be anagrams of other names.
