Okay, I feel like I did the requisite report on the most popular baby names of the year according to the Social Security Administration's look at last years baby names. Honestly, it's a fun report to look at and one I really enjoy, but lots of people talk about the top names. I'm really a data geek and I like looking at the numbers from lots of angles. I think that the SSA must know that because over the years, they've added more and more features, including the ability to see how fast names are gaining or losing on the scale.
That's where I thought it might be interesting to see if we can pick a few names out that are dropping. Here are the five fastest dropping names in both boys and girls:
Boys:
- Braeden
- Yahir
- Kieran
- Cullen
- Brayan
- Amare
- Jalen
- Trey
- Casey
- Jakob
Girls:
- Dulce
- Mikaela
- Estrella
- Danna
- Audrina
- Cameron
- Kiera
- Savanna
- Paola
- Tenley
I think some of these are easy to look at and to tell why they are dropping. While Cullen might have been a popular name that wasn't quite Edward, now it's lost fashion. Some of these names, like Jakob, have obviously popular variations. (Locally I hear a lot of Tinley, so I wonder if that's what's going on with Tenley?) What's your take on the fastest falling names of the year?
