My USA spellings combined list for boys, 2012
Here is what I've come up with for the top 50 (actually top 52) so far. There is a very slight chance some name with lots of different spellings would creep in near the bottom whenever I have time to look at the entire data set, but I think this is pretty accurate. Of course combining spellings one believes are being pronounced the same is always somewhat subjective, so someone else's list might have a few minor differences.1. Aiden 27828

Where did Luke go? Even when there are no alternate spellings, it should be on place 43 in this list.
