Yes- my daughter is Scarlett Jean and thanks for the compliments on her name- always nice to hear:)
I noticed the small jump this year, which I was VERY relieved about (although Scarlet with one 't' rose more so there were about 200 more Scarletts born this year compared to last- still not a large increase)- when I named my little one it was at 457 or something around there- I'm hoping it has reached its peak and is going to remain around 200 for a couple of years and then drop off again- I still hold hope that it won't go much further because it seems to be a name that people either love or hate- I can't see it going top 100 simply because it isn't one of those names that everyone likes- hopefully it stays that way:) The way I see it, people in the general population would have no idea that a name was around 200 vs 1000- you only start noticing a name is getting popular when it is top 50ish- In my daughter's daycare, for example, there are two litte girls named Blythe- it's not even ranked but appears more popular at her school than the ever popular Sophia- unless you are a 'name person' like most of us who visit this site (and others like it) you would likely never notice the popularity of a name until it reached very high on the charts.
Sorry for the long ramble...just my two cents:)
