HelpRe: Predictions for SSA list 2017
in reply to a message by Rachel Shaina
Do you know when the list will be released?
> What do you think the #1 names will be?
Emma and Noah because all the other names close to them seem to be used less and less frequently so even though Emma is being used less (in numbers) it will remain at the top, Noah as well.
> Trends
More names from the 30s and 40s such as Dorothy, Lucille. More simplistic/no nonsense names such as June, Jane or May. Classic names for boys with typical nicknames from the 30s and 40s such as William 'Billy' and James 'Jimmy'. More names ending in -e, -ette, -ine, -een as opposed to all those crazy common names that are starting to fall that end in -a, -ella, -bella, -ina. More nature names such as River for both genders.
> Big drops / Big rises
Bigger drops: Jennifer, Jessica, Alexis, Hannah, Samantha, Alyssa - former 90s names in general and the 80s names that are still used a bit
Drops: all those names that were heavily used by celebrities in the 90s and became popular among the general population in the late 90s/early 2000s but are beginning to sound tired will fall, some of them rather quickly for former top 10 names (Chloe!) e.g. Chloe, Lily, Isabella, Sophia, Zoe etc. plus Ariana, Arianna, Aubrey and Aubree, Skylar, Bella and Ella (I know it went up a bit last year but I think it will go down again)
Rises: Juniper, June, Matilda, Eliana (actually not quite sure, maybe parents are getting sick of these sounds), Josephine (!), Eleanor, Alice, Elena, Scarlett, Nora, Nova (!), Adeline and variants, Luna, Leia, Mila, Quinn, Kinsley, Delilah, Willow, Athena, Margaret, Teagan, Raelynn (for whatever reason), Eloise, Lucille, Dorothy, Bodhi (plus any I listed below under 'new to the top ...').
> New in the top 10 / 100 / 1000, names leaving the top 10 / 100 / 1000?
Top 10: Evelyn and Amelia + Oliver
Top 100: Emilia, Everly and maybe Valentina or Rylee (hope not!), Josephine + not sure if any at all for the boys, none close to the top 100 seem to be rising.
Top 1000: I don't really know because I never checked the top 100 beyond the top 1000. Maybe Theodora or Bowie.
> Pop culture influences?
Celebrity babies: Bodhi, Bowie, Remy, Rumi etc.
> Any other thoughts?

It's typically released the Friday before Mothers day, so I'm expecting it will be released on the 11th this year.
