I always wondered if it had to do with the type of parents that would name their kid "Allergra" or "Autumn" which makes the coincidence less coincidental I guess? Like parents that are more into the arts and would encourage their children to do dance would name their kid a more nature-y name like Autumn than parents more interested in something else. That's really interesting though, especially about the Allergras. And I know what you mean, I met several Charlottes in high school which for around my birth year would have been ranked a high 200/300 name but saying "I know so many Charlottes!" now is like "yeah man, it's ranked 45" not that I dislike the name. That's actually where I came up with the previous theory because I realized the parents of the Charlottes were very similar and I was like "huh I wonder if people like that are just more likely to name their daughters something like Charlotte."

I'm and "artsy" type (I have my degree in art history) and Allegra is one of my most FAVORITE names, actually the longest running name in my top 10 - so there could be something there

That's actually super interesting! I feel like I want to casually do a survey with my artsy friends "sooo... how do you feel about the name Allegra?" haha

I agree, it definitely seems to have something to do with the parents. I know a few Charlottes my age and all except one have teachers as parents or at least one parent who is a teacher!
