HelpSummary, top 100 by state: Girls, Alabama-Indiana
in reply to a message by Lily
The names that surprised me the most:
Aubrey - #8 in Delaware and #13 in Arkansas
I'm amazed by the popularity of Aubrey. I need an explanation. It can't just be the sound. Why is it rising so quickly? Aubree is too. I mean Aubrey is even in the top 10 Delaware!
Mila - #91 in Connecticut. I mean I knew it was getting common but this surprises me.
Valentina - #39 in Florida.
Alaina and Brielle in the top 100 in many states.
Sophia and Sofia both in the top 10 in California. I think the percentage of children named the #1 name has declined over the years. I wonder if it went up for the first time again this year when you combine Sophia and Sofia. Crazy popular.
Amelia - #10 in Alaska. Rosemary is also near the top 100.
Overall Kimberly seems to be extremely common in states with a large Spanish speaking population. This is also my explanation for why Kimberly is still in the top 100 as it is considered extremely dated by most people I know. Also Camila and Ximena are usually common in these states. Gianna seems to be common in states where many people of Italian descent are living.
I wonder whether 'Breaking Bad' helped Skylar make a small comeback even though the character spelled her name Skyler. It is pretty late 90s, early 2000s dated to me even though I like it. The funny thing is that the female Skyler on the show is in her 40s.
Kailani made the top 100 in Hawaii. Wasn't some celebrity baby named Kailani last year? It seems to be rising very quickly in Hawaii.
Just thought I'd summarize the lists a little bit. Alabama-Indiana, girls. I might do the rest later if I have time:
Alabama:
-Kayleigh #99
-Addyson #96
-Reagan #93
-Paisley #90
-Grace #88 (whoa, this is number 14! on the general list)
-Londyn #86
-Piper #82
-Kinsley #77
-Ryleigh #73
-Kyleigh #70
-Allie #68
-Caroline #33
- Anna #10
I'd say a pretty trendy state in general. They also seem to love -eigh endings for some reason ;) Many nice names, though.
Alaska:
-Rosemary #110
-Melody #108
-Evangeline #98

-Hazel #59
-Kinley #51
- Annabelle and Violet in the top 100
-Mary still pretty high at #45
-Amelia in the top 10!

Gotta remember- D.C. has a much higher black population than most states/areas, something like 60% I believe? I know with my own cousins and friends (who are black), originality is valued quite highly. I'd even be willing to bet that the percentage of children born with a top name is much lower than it is in other states. Names like Lyric, Jayla and Aniyah definitely fit the bill, and in my experiences are sort of the Isabella, Mia, and Emma of the black community.

Yeah, Illinois isn't really all that interesting. At least not many of the names are overly trendy.
