HelpPopularity that surprises you
I know we’ve had several threads like this, but I feel like bringing it back. What are some things about the popularity data that surprised you?
-I completely forgot that Logan made a massive jump into the top 10 in 2017….and left about as soon as it came. I seriously don’t remember that happening.
-Leslie popped back in the top 100 for a few years in the early 2000’s. This surprises me because Leslie sounds like such a Boomer or Gen X name to me.
-Steven being consistently more popular than Stephen, although literally everyone I know in real life spells it the later way.
-The fact that Taylen had never been in the top 1000 despite the fact I know no fewer than three kids/teens with the name.
-The fact that Chelsea charted first and was consistently more popular than Kelsey. I know way more people named Kelsey and it sounds more like a “real” name where Chelsea feels like a knock off, like what Addison is to Madison. And my name is Chelsea.
