Holy moley! Mason jumped from 12 to 2. A change like that anywhere near the top 10 is huge.

Off to process the rest....

ETA my first impressions:

-I can't believe Aubrey jumped form #44 to 20. I never thought it would be that popular. Plus, there's Aubree and Aubrie...
-I'm surprised Maeve dropped (from 536 to 590).
-Mae made a big jump, from 988 to 803, but May is still unranked. What a difference a letter makes.
-Adele jumped from 908 to 627! Wow.
-It looks like both Katherine and Catherine got a boost from the royal wedding coverage: Katherine went from 70 to 61, Catherine from 193 to 161.
-I expected Bentley and Kennedy to both move into the top 100, but not at #75 and 90, respectively. I thought they'd barely crack it, a little like Lydia did when it moved from #111 to 96.
-I expected Isabella to drop, but for some reason I'm surprised that Isabel and Isabelle dropped the way they did (Isabel from #116 to 128 and Isabelle from #105 to 114).
-I expected Eleanor and Lucy to climb more and Jessica to fall less.
-Zuri climbed from 980 to 854. I'm surprised. The only place I've ever seen it is on the Disney Channel.
-Amos entered the chart at 860 and Harvey at 862. I'm surprised by both, although I did think Harvey would eventually start to gain ground here.
-Elliot has entered the girls' top 1000 at #875 and Rory at #900! Geez-Louise.
-Looks like Nova is new for girls at #884. I just think of old Chevys.
-Laurel's in at #927. Nice! Juniper, too, at 970.
-Mina climbed from 962 to 809 and Mila from 364 to 174. I guess that MEE+consonant+uh sound is in fashion.
-Lionel's up from 904 to 786. I'm genuinely happy about this because I'm often told it's unusable. Woot!
-Luna moved up from 343 to 278.

Some of my favorites went up and some went down, but there weren't any alarming shifts either way. I'm pretty pleased this year.
