[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn’t “fastest rising” just mean “biggest statistical jump”?

So if you had 0 Duttons in 2021 and then there were 3 in 2022, that’s a 300% increase…and if there were 6 in 2023, that’s a 600% jump from 2021. So it’s not that there’s so many Duttons, it’s just that 600% increase is more statistically significant than 3,000 Emmas in 2021 rising to 3,050 Emmas in 2022.[/quote]

Yes. That's why these names are so weird.

That said, I think Georgina and Amiri are actually pretty.

Eithan and Kayce make my eyes twitch. I often wish they could just expunge alternate spellings from the list altogether. If people want to do alternate spellings, that's their problem, but it's dumb when they wind up on these lists because it's not a different name. I think Nameberry sometimes combines common spellings of the same name (Sarah/Sara, for instance) for their lists, and it makes sense. If you are wondering about the popularity of the name, I would factor in alternative spellings because being Eithan in a class with two Ethans is not going to make you unique in the way your were hoping.[/quote]
