Re: Social Security list, spellings combined, boys, top 300
I love that you do this! I've done it myself the past 10 years or so. It's so hard though, to know sometimes what names go together and what names don't. I'm glad the SSA separates the spellings, so you can see that popularity, but I also like to see them put together. (Then again, people are weird -- I had a student named
Hallie pronounced like
Hayley, and a friend named
Hallie who rhymed it with
Callie. And so on with same spelling different pronunciations!)
