Help[Opinions] Curious about BTN's version of Nameberry's Back to School and Playground Analysis; what's yours?
Good evening, Behind the Name Forums.
I came across this post by Nameberry that talks about the Top 10 names found in Classrooms from the 2020s all the way to the 1900s, which I will link below.

However, upon sharing it with the r/namenerds subreddit, which I will link below as well for further context as to their response, it turned out Nameberry had simply reused the Top 10 list for each decade and "dressed it up" in a "Back to School" Theme, rather than going into a deep dive on an analysis that would summarize what names were most likely to be found in a classroom roster for over the last 120 years.

Another question I have has something else to do with Nameberry as well; author Kelli Brady on Nameberry has been writing something related to school-themed names called The Playground Analysis; a series of name lists that aims to identify names most likely to be heard in playgrounds and to find names that are more likely to not be part of the Top 10 of the year its released. The analysis has been for, as far as I know, been written since the 2010s but I haven't seen one that covers years between 1990-2009, or basically names that can be heard in the playgrounds of 90s and 2000s kids, or babies.
What would be your own take on a Classroom analysis of names that are most likely to be found in the 1990s and 2000s (that can be more accurate than Nameberry's Back to School Names), specifically the 19-year-range I mentioned above, alongside a playground analysis of it? While I did my own combining the Top 50 Names, I'm curious about your own take of it; how would you do it? You are also free to cover other decades if you wish.
Best regards.
