Your 2024 name reversed
Imagine that you were born in 2024 with whatever your name is. Find where your first and middle name(s) rank (https://www.behindthename.com/top/lists/united-states/2024), and then, travel back in time to the year you were actually born. What would parents who would name you X in 2024, name you the year you were really born?
For example, my names Emma ranked 2nd and Johanna 847th in 2024. In 1992 (when I was really born), names with same ranks were Jessica and Gabriel. Also, my masculine names with these ranks would be Noah Heath (in 2024) and Christopher Asa (in 1992).
What do you think of your reversed name?

Jessica Gabriel sounds too clunky to me: I would prefer Gabrielle Jessica. Noah Heath is just fine, but I think Christopher Asa is very handsome.

My name is Chelsea Laura (or Erik Jonathan, based on the male numbers the year I was born).
In 2024, I'd be Jade Hazel (or Leonardo Ethan).

Hey, welcome back! I feel like you've been gone for ages!
Thank you! I think I have :)
I think after I named my daughter, who was born last May, I didn't think about names for quite awhile (which is so unusual for me, ha!)
The SSA names got me thinking again!

My name would be Nathalie Melody or Travon Damien .
Using the ONS rankings for England and Wales in this case.
My names were 25 and 104 in 2023; the names of the year I was born in those spots were Max and Caleb. I honestly think they are kind of boring, and I would prefer another first name like Maximillian instead (I'd keep Max as a diminutive though).

My names were 97 and 105 the year I was born. 2024 has Lydia and Natalia in those spots. I would prefer Lydia Natalie or Lydie Natalia, but Lydia Natalia is still a bit nice, if repetitive in endings
The names are 40 and 247 in 2024, and the names the year I was born in those spots were Mary and Celeste. I think it is quite cute. I prefer Mary Celeste to Lydia Natalia.

I'm Paul (263) Benjamin (11); in 1990, when I was born, I'd be Enrique Ryan or Carla Megan, LOL.
My first name and middle names haven't charted in years lol I can't play this for 2024 :( My second middle name hasn't even charted since years before I was born even lol
Emma Cataleya, I like it better than last year's Emma Zara.
Great idea!
My name ranked #175 this year, and my middle name ranked #639
My name would be Kate Amya. I don’t actually hate it. I just find it funny I got Kate as my name, since that’s what almost everybody calls me anyway.

Neither my first name nor my MN were in the top 1000 for 2024! I guess I'd still be named the same then, because my FN also wasn't in the top 1000 in my birth year (although my MN was, ranking at 400 that year).
Hi-dee-ho, here we go!
62 + 95 = Alice Sarah
Interesting! I've always loved Alice and would have gladly had an Alice daughter, but DH is anti-Alison (appalling family member) so no luck. But Sarah is just the opposite: my paternal grandmother was Sarah and my Dad really wanted to name me after her; he was the youngest of five and really loves his mother. Unfortunately, my mother couldn't stand her! She never said so or gave a sign, but she was actually relieved when her m-i-l died! and managed to talk my Dad out of Sarah and into using her mn as mine.

Alice Sarah is actually gorgeous in my opinion!
It would be, if only the -ce and the Sa- didn't run together. All my kids have had two mns, so let's split it up:
Alice Emily Sarah
Alice Caroline Sarah
Alice Ruth Sarah
Alice Margaret Sarah - I rather like that one
