Oregon’s Open Data website includes several tables of baby name data from 2012.
The most interesting thing about this data? It goes all the way down to names given to just three babies per year. (All the SSA baby name lists, on the other hand, have a five-baby cutoff.)
So here are some of the baby names that were bestowed in Oregon just three or four times in 2012:
Girl Names
Boy Names
Amberly Andromeda Arianny Damaris Diem Ellingon Fern Gaia Io Isela Jubilee Kahlan Linnea Lois Lumen Magali Rue Sahasra Sanvi Sayuri Seven Sinai Siri Sonora Sparrow Timber Twyla Van Yara
Achilles Alvin Atlas Atreyu Bear Briar Calder Carver Clive Dutch Forest Huck Hyrum Isley Kainoa Kincaid Koa Larry Loki Montgomery Riot Rogue Summit Tavish Tiberius Tor Trapper Van Zephyr
The name Diem has been in the SSA data since the ’80s, but a lot of the recent usage was probably inspired by Danielle Michelle “Diem” Brown, who appeared on various MTV reality TV shows from 2006 to 2015. (She passed away in 2014 from ovarian cancer.) In her case, “Diem” was a nickname based on the initials “D.M.,” making this yet another name that can be spelled with the names of letters.
Jessie Jensen published her annual Mormon baby names post a few weeks ago. Some highlights:
Dallin/Dallen, tied for “Most Mormon name.” Dallin H. Oaks is a prominent member of the LDS church and a former president of BYU.
Rexalyn: “Ask your doctor if Rexalyn™ is right for you.”
Roczen, which has popped up in Australia recently as well. The influence is probably German motorcycle racer Ken Roczen.
Tannin, the “Absolute Worst Name This Year” thanks to the Biblical sea monster association. (For what it’s worth, I thought Zoei was worse.)
One commenter mentioned the historical Malan family of Ogden, Utah. Most of the 16 children were given alphabetical names:
Alexis Bartholomew (b. 1873)
Claudius Daniel (b. 1875)
Ernest Francis (b. 1876)
Jeremiah (b. 1878)
Gideon Highly (b. 1879)
Inez Jane (b. 1881)
Kit (b. 1883)
Lawrence Maxwell (b. 1884)
Nahum Oscar (b. 1886)
Parley Quince (b. 1888)
Ray Stephen (b. 1890)
Teresa Una (b. 1890)
Verna Winona (b. 1893)
X Y Zella (b. 1895)
Benjamin (b. 1896)
Louise Pauline (b. 1898)
Another commenter mentioned an aunt “named OE, it was pronounced oh-EEE, just like the letters,” who was born in Utah in early 1900s. (Reminds me of Io.)
