Trends:

---

> Nature names
> Unisex names (ties with nature names) - Oakley, Rowan, Avery (I don't see it leaving the top 200 for boys yet)
> ette/a names (I include -otte/-et/-ett names in this as well, so Charlotte, Scarlett, Elliot, etc count and are leading the way for some less common ones -- Arlette, Loretta, and Etta may chart this year.
> Unique initials (I, O, Q, X, Y, Z -- especially O.)
> Heavier sounds (less L and K, more R)

---

Rises/falls:
> Mad- names (all of them, even the 'nice ones') drop, Ad- names are up except for Addison
> August- names are up

---

Pop Culture:
> Game of Thrones: Lyanna charts; Khaleesi continues to rise despite people crying about it so much.
> Star Wars: Rey rises but doesn't chart. Iffy about what's going to happen to Kylo-- I want to say it will keep rising because it's so perfectly now but I have not even seen one BA for a Kylo).

---

Top 20:
> Oliver in the top 10
> Amelia in the top 10
> Last minute dark horse prediction: Evelyn in the top 10.
> Owen, Sebastian, Henry in the top 20.
> Riley in the top 20.
> Either Emma or Olivia could be #1, too close to call. I put Olivia for the derby. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Noah will remain number 1 but I wouldn't be horribly surprised if Liam overtakes it for 2018.
> Michael continues hang around in the top 10
> I have Benjamin at #4 and Mason at #8.
> I have Charlotte at #5
