I always wondered if it had to do with the type of parents that would name their kid "Allergra" or "Autumn" which makes the coincidence less coincidental I guess? Like parents that are more into the arts and would encourage their children to do dance would name their kid a more nature-y name like Autumn than parents more interested in something else. That's really interesting though, especially about the Allergras.
And I know what you mean, I met several Charlottes in high school which for around my birth year would have been ranked a high 200/300 name but saying "I know so many Charlottes!" now is like "yeah man, it's ranked 45" not that I dislike the name. That's actually where I came up with the previous theory because I realized the parents of the Charlottes were very similar and I was like "huh I wonder if people like that are just more likely to name their daughters something like Charlotte."
