Re: My column on top ten names of the year, USA 2023
Perhaps it’s a consequence of more traditional names becoming popular — they are less likely to become dated, or at least they date more slowly. Names like Emma, Emily, Olivia, Isabella or Sophia have more staying power than e.g. Madison, which was number 4 20 years ago.
In the last decades the top 10 for girls has become more populated by traditional names, which already happened with boys.
