Every year I 'project' the next years top 1000+, using the assumption that everything will move exactly as it had the year before. Obviously that's not true, since pop culture effects the charts in ways I can't necessarily predict, but it does work fairly well as a prediction method.

---

Last year, I correctly predicted these would appear on the 2017 chart:

---

Lyanna, Legacy, Octavia, Egypt, Xiomara, Marlowe, Jurnee, Magdalena, Opal, Treasure, Florence, Everlee, Renee, Sonia, Emberly, Oaklyn, India

Here's the list of girls that are projected to appear on the top 1000 for 2018. The ones that I bolded are names that I predicted last year as well (if they appear twice, they're still rising, just at a slower-than-predicted rate-- I think, but am not sure because this is the first time I've compared, this makes them more likely to appear, but we'll see). They are in order of highest projected rank to lowest (which functions as a "most to least likely").

You can also consider this a glimpse of what's happening off chart-- many of these had very big rises from 2016 to 2017.

Last year, I got 33% of my girls predictions correct-- so 18 of these need to be right next year to match that. If you want, tell me which 18 (or more) you think are most likely.

---

Here are the names that are projected to fall off the list to make room:

---

Adele, Adrienne, Aliya, Anabelle, Aranza, Arely, Aryanna, Breanna, Brenda, Brenna, Brittany, Carla, Carlee, Caylee, Chana, Clare, Courtney, Dana, Ellison, Emilee, Estrella, Evalyn, Hadlee, Holland, Ingrid, Itzayana, Jayden, Jazlynn, Jessa, Kailyn, Karlie, Kassandra, Kaylin, Kenya, Kiana, Kristina, Malani, Miah, Milena, Miya, Monserrat, Nataly, Nathalia, Naya, Paityn, Patricia, Susan, Sylvie, Taliyah, Tegan, Tenley, Vada, Yamileth, Zendaya

---

I'll have a boy's list later.

WDYT?
