Re: How often do you hear these names?
According to the SSA site, Caleb, Ava, Nora, Audrey, and Riley are all in the top 100 for my home state.We tend to have more Hispanic names in our popularity charts out here. Don't hear too many Scandinavian names, but they are certainly not unheard of. Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I noticed names that seemed to belong to black culture on the DC list, not so much ND. I'd be really interested in comparing Fargo's lists with the rest of ND. We're as close to a multicultural city as you get in ND, and we have a growing immigrant population We also have a growing Orthodox Jewish community (apparently Fargo had one before, about 100 years ago.) I might see if I can get a peek at the class lists of my nieces and nephews. Years ago I read that the midwest tends to follow popular naming trends, New England/Mid Alantic tends to stick to classic names, and nature-inspired names are more common in the mountain states. And Southern US follows its own rules.
