Re: Biggest rises & falls of the US Top 1000 of 2023
I like Cassian and Elio from the boys that rose, and Chosen is a bit of a guilty pleasure. I like the girls less, but the best in my opinion would be Miley, Halo (guilty pleasure), Maisy and Elowyn.
From the ones that fell, I like Leighton, Justice (GP) and Bellamy from the boys, and Angelique, Zendaya, Kai and Bria from the girls.
For the girls I definitely prefer the names that fell, while for the boys I prefer the ones that rose.

It seems like Elowyn is going to be the "Americanized" variant of Elowen (like Gwendolyn vs. Gwendolen).While I do like the sound and meaning of Zendaya, I feel like that's a very one-person name. Same with Charlize (outside of South Africa).
