HelpRe: Names I’m surprised are ranked so low
in reply to a message by peregrine
My opinions and guesses on why these names are rated so low.
Skyler (606) - Overused within the 2010 - 2015 "I want to name my baby something cool"
Elsa (624) - As of 2013, this became a Disney name, and then Disney parents started getting their hands on these names.
Tessa (624) - A good nickname, but as a first name, It just doesn't mesh well with most middle names
Sylvia (630) - It started to look like an old lady name, and people didn't really like it
Jade (638) - This name is really cute, and I'm really not sure if people felt it was Overused or not.
Sage (638) - A wonderful name, same confusion here for Jade.
Melina (655) - I never heard anyone with this name other than women much older than me, probably went out of style once the Melina's of the world started having their own kids.
Charlie (706) - This name is overused as a first name, and Charles started coming back and people started using it as a nn instead of a fn.
Louise (706) - A cute middle name, but not many people with this fn past 2005 or so.
Caitlin (718) - A cute one, but Kaitlyn became the more popular spelling
Shiloh (718) - This name is a classic, but I'm not sure how this got such a low ranking
Samantha (729) - Samantha is such a cutie, not sure what happened here.
Vera (729) - Was always a bit of a non-traditional mn and wasn't often used as a fn
Juliette (746) - Juliet with more oomph to it. This got overused within 2008-2014
Juliet (775) Same as Juliette
Kate (775) - Overused 80s/90s name that went out of style in the early 2000s
June (809) - People just forgot to use this name
Natasha (809) - People just stopped liking this name after a while. Got dropped some time between 1990-2000
Alanna (826) - Got dropped as soon as it's variation Alona/Alonna became more popular in the 2010s
Lauren (857) - People who still like this name don't get how dated it is. Lauren got dropped primarily in 2008 back when 2010s baby names were cooking
Willa (857) - Nobody was bold enough to name their baby this for a really long time
Mavis (876) - It just screams "I'm a mom in the late 80s and wanna be original." other than that idk why it got dropped
Noelle (876) - Associated with Christmas and in 2010-2020s most Christian moms found names that they liked better.
Caitlyn (910) Same as the Kaityln delemma
Eleni (910) - So obscure that I haven't heard this one. That tracks.
Madelyn (940) - Madlyn went out of style around 1998-ish and this variation just wants to feel special SO bad
Taya (940) - Like the classic 70s and 80s Tanya but she's cool.
Samira (982) - Same as Eleni
Boys:
Ian (600) - It feels very.. I don't know.. It feels too 70s-ey and I can't get over it
Presley (610) - It's cute in theory but it just doesn't pair well with middle names
Kieran (615) - A good one, but same as presley
Emmett (620) - A popular one from the 2010s, but it hasn't seen much love since

Artie (632) - To nickname-ey
Silas (632) - A good one, but it was never that popular
Travis (646) - overused 1990s name, got dropped within 99' and 00'

Dillon (727) - Dyllan/Dylan became the more popular spelling
