HelpRe: Any surprises in the 2024 rankings? (USA)
in reply to a message by olivbliv
Deborah! It's my favorite dated name. I always check whether it's still in the top 1000. Deborah has been hovering near the bottom for some time, and I expected it to leave in 2024. Nice to see it rise by 116 spots!
Also, Scottie. I like Scott, and Scottie is kinda cute, though I'm not sure it ages well. I'm not following much of pop culture, so I wonder whether there was a character or something that triggered the use.
Not much surprised about the boys. Atlas is my top name at the moment. I expected it to decline a bit but it almost made it to the top 100. Happy to see it around without getting too popular.
Theodore rising does not surprise me. I think Theodore might be the #1 name in a few years.

I feel like the rise of the name 'Scottie' makes sense. Anecdotally, there are a lot of Gen Xers and millennials (and likely Gen Z as well) named Scott and maybe they're looking for a feminine form of Scott as an honouring name and came up with 'Scottie'? Maybe they want to honour Scottish heritage? Also there's a character nicknamed "Scotty" in Star Trek as well? I don't really know how influential that last one is but yeah, just my thoughts.
That's my guess as well re: Scottie. I bet there are lots of grandpas and dads named Scott out there now, and with people having just one or two kids...
Deborah is so beautiful, I just hesitate because of the nickname "Debbie."
I don't understand Scottie.

Scottie seems better for dogs than for humans. I'm glad Deborah is coming back.
Scottie is awful, imo, but I can’t say I’m surprised. I do see people talk about that one on name forums.
