HelpRe: An honest defense of "Jordan" as a female name
in reply to a message by Ali Hassan
Jordan is not at all uncommon on girls; nothing new there. Even shows up as a female character in the Great Gatsby.
Take popularity stats with a grain of salt. Remember that mistakes happen, which is why on older charts you'll see "names" like Baby, Girl, Unnamed and Male listed, when of course nobody is named Unnamed. Likewise on older lists you'll see listings for William as a girl's name and Mary as a boy's names. These are mistakes in data-collection and entry, not reality.
Parker has gained some popularity (very limited) as a girl's name, and Micah even more limited, but Gabriel and especially Nicholas are not girl's names and are unlikely to ever be listed as used more than five times a year; I believe that for the sake of privacy, the Social Security people do not rank names unless they are used by at least five or ten (or some other number) of people.
