Bemusedly, I Relay.... (2013)

Did I skip 2012? Huh. Anyway, all the girls' -lee-sounding names from 2013 (most common spelling of each only. I doubt I have the space to list all 1500+!).
Enjoy!

Overall, I can't help but notice that again, -aiden names are decreasing almost across the board. They partially seem to be getting replaced by -ason (and -aceon?).
As for the girls' Top 10: Sophia & Isabella are slowly losing ground--Emma, Elizabeth, and Ava saw almost no change, though, and Emily, Madison, & Abigail also lost %. Will Olivia & Mia be top next year? Or will something come up from further down the rankings--Charlotte? Avery? Harper?

What Does 'Change' Mean? Part 3 (2013)

And now for my favorite part. Ranking is a relatively simple, straight-forward system, but it doesn't really tell you that much about how the mid-range names are changing. The most common names stay at about the same level of usage (you about equally likely to meet a Sophia as an Olivia or Emma, and it was about the same last year), and the more uncommon names tend to bounce around in rank. But it's the names in-between, which mostly avoid notice, that are going to seem to seemingly randomly burst into the Top 100 in a few short years.
Percentage analysis is the best way to find those names, IMO. I look at what percentage of babies in a year are given a certain name, and compare how that changes between years. Just look at Jackson--in 2012 it ranked #22, but jumped to #17 in 2013. However, its percentage of all total births didn't really change: 0.62%. About 6 of every 1000 boys was named Jackson both years.
Sadie, however, in its jump from #119 to #50, when from being used about 13 times for every 10000 babies to being used 24 times for every ten thousand babies. Your chance of meeting a baby Sadie nearly doubled between 2012 & 2013! And yet Sadie didn't show up in any of the ranking-jump analyses.

Biggest change in %:

Girls:

1. Sadie (0.1338%-->0.2417%)
2. Aria (0.1671%-->0.2663%)
3. Charlotte (0.3860%-->0.4836%)
4. Penelope (0.1306%-->0.2230%)
5. Sofia (0.4042%-->0.4771%)
6. Olivia (0.8923%-->0.9562%)
7. Mia (0.6214%-->0.6844%)
8. Harper (0.3723%-->0.4307%)
9. Mila (0.1366%-->0.1918%)
10. Scarlett (0.2092%-->0.2635%)
11. Kendra (0.0415%-->0.0897%)
12. Avery (0.4305%-->0.4777%)
13. Ariana (0.1849%-->0.2296%)
14. Amelia (0.3742%-->0.4179%)
15. Evelyn (0.3558%-->0.3989%)
16. Nicole (0.1372%-->0.1742%)
17. Paisley (0.1511%-->0.1877%)
18. Jaylah (0.0351%-->0.0712%)
19. Violet (0.1692%-->0.2040%)
20. Valentina (0.0986%-->0.1331%)

Boys:

1. Jase (0.0555%-->0.2266%)
2. Jace (0.2324%-->0.3170%)
3. Jayceon (0.0089%-->0.0919%)
4. Liam (0.8303%-->0.8999%)
5. Oliver (0.2919%-->0.3604%)
6. Camden (0.1285%-->0.1934%)
7. Jaxon (0.3111%-->0.3739%)
8. Lincoln (0.1434%-->0.2005%)
9. Noah (0.8559%-->0.9043%)
10. Hunter (0.3964%-->0.4442%)
11. Silas (0.1224%-->0.1683%)
12. Lucas (0.5283%-->0.5724%)
13. Grayson (0.2324%-->0.2749%)
14. Sebastian (0.3326%-->0.3747%)
15. Henry (0.3984%-->0.4400%)
16. Ryker (0.0817%-->0.1231%)
17. Josiah (0.2705%-->0.3111%)
18. Jaxson (0.1808%-->0.2208%)
19. Jayce (0.0948%-->0.1321%)
20. Mateo (0.1402%-->0.1773%)

Related to percentage analysis is the idea of relative frequency. It's great for pinning down the trendy names. Relative frequency shows just how likely you are to meet a baby born with a certain name now than you were last year (such as with Sadie--almost 2x as likely!). Quite often, this does overlap with a high jump in ranking, but not always.

The largest increases in relative frequency (from 2013's Top 1500):

Girls:

1. Daleyza (11.81x)
2. Janney (10.74x)
3. Eiza (7.59x)
4. Korie (4.28x)
5. Mavis (3.84x)
6. Ariane (3.08x)
7. Everly (2.83x)
8. Cambree (2.20x)
9. Kendra (2.16x)
10. Marjorie (2.16x)
11. Alanis (2.11x)
12. Lennon (2.10x)
13. Jaylah (2.03x)
14. Allisson (1.93x)
15. Meera (1.91x)
16. Jurnee (1.85x)
17. Everleigh (1.82x)
18. Sadie (1.81x)
19. Marlowe (1.79x)
20. Henley (1.78x)

Boys:

1. Jaceon (12.14x)
2. Jayceon (10.32x)
3. Jaycion (8.86x)
4. Jase (4.08x)
5. Milan (3.24x)
6. Atlas (2.42x)
7. Bane (2.36x)
8. Thiago (2.31x)
9. Duke (2.09x)
10. Jordi (2.09x)
11. Jasen (2.07x)
12. Deacon (1.88x)
13. Ledger (1.88x)
14. Jayse (1.85x)
15. Kendrick (1.84x)
16. Brixton (1.79x)
17. Kyrie (1.78x)
18. Zayn (1.76x)
19. Harlem (1.70x)
20. Castiel (1.70x)

So.....how about those Jase-names? My goodness. I'm flabbergasted. I'm guessing Janney is because of Jenni Rivera or her daughter Janney Marin. And Eiza is thanks to Eiza Gonzales. Not to mention Daleyza Hernandez. And Lennon, Alanis, Ledger, Castiel....
Is it just me, or is baby-naming getting waaaaaay more pop-culture driven? Or is it just the trendier names, and I've not really been aware of it until now? (I freely admit to much Googling)

And from the Top 1500+:

• Jayceon, +845 (1051-->206)
• Milan, +651 (1193-->542)
• Atlas, +617 (1406-->789)

• Lochlan, +261 (1199-->938)

Jayceon....is a new one for me! Any other reference besides "The Game", I wonder? My nerdy fangirl side kind of smiles to see Castiel, as well as Kent and McCoy.


And completely new to the Top 1000:

• Ares
• Azariah
• Brantlee
• Castiel
• Grey
• Jayceon
• Jayse
• Jericho
• Kannon
• Lachlan
• Langston
• Lochlan
• Magnus
• Thatcher

What Does 'Change' Mean? Part 1 (2013)

Yaaaaaaayyyyy!!!!

The fastest jumping girls' names from #2500+:

1. Allisson, +901 (#2384-->1483)
2. Alanis, +878 (#2169-->1291)
3. Cambree, +873 (#2046-->1173)
4. Meera, +844 (#2283-->1439)
5. Alessa, +819 (#2500-->1681)
6. Rosalynn, +758 (#2477-->1719)
7. Marjorie, +731 (#1641-->910)
8. Lennon, +707 (#1630-->923)
9. Mona, +682 (#2495-->1813)
10. Shae, +676 (#2313-->1637)
11. Marlowe, +638 (#1925-->1287)
12. Lennox, +601 (#2053-->1452)
13. Oaklee, +596 (#2429-->1833)
14. Waverly, +575 (#2453-->1878)
15. Asiya, +568 (#2457-->1889)
16. Jurnee, +567 (#1463-->896)
17. Aiza, +559 (#2359-->1800)
18. Violette, +549 (#1910-->1361)
19. Ariadne, +538 (#1762-->1224)
20. Everleigh, +533 (#1398-->865)

I admit, I like this list much better than last years' (although I am kind of sad to not see Hattie for a third year). Ariadne also appeared in my 2011 list.
It's interesting to note that two of these are less-prominent Game of Thrones characters--Shae (Shay ranked #24) and Meera. Wonder if they could reach the heights of Khaleesi, or even Aria? Meera seems more likely to me.

And of course, I missed the highest jumping name again thanks to my cutoff at 2500 (last year it was Khaleesi, followed by Cataleya): Daleyza, jumping 3130 spots from #3715-->585. Wow!


The fastest jumping names from #1500+:

1. Jurnee, + 567 (1463-->896)
2. Everleigh, +533 (1398-->865 )
3. Everly, + 524 (907-->383)
4. Henley, +476 (1307-->831)
5. Kensington, + 396 (1489-->1093)
6. Freya, + 393 (1301-->908)
7. Neriah, + 391 (1345-->954)
8. Remington, +391 (1427-->1036)
9. Naya, +365 (1388 -->1023)
10. Mabel, +344 (1051 -->707)
11. Oakley, +338 (1266-->928)
12. Marlie, +330 (1426-->1096)
13. Hadlee, +327 (1216-->889)
14. Gwyneth, +293 (1179-->886)
15. Emerie, +293 (1233-->940)
16. Dallas, +291 (901-->610)
17. Iyana, +284 (1487-->1203)
18. Saige, +283 (932-->649)
19. Azalea, +275 (906-->631)
20. Kaidence, +271 (1250-->979)

Ooh! Mabel! Freya! Naya! Azalea! Azalea and Everly in particular I'd keep my eye on--they were new to the Top 1000 last year.

Aidens Gonna Aid (2013)

SSA LIST WHOOOOO!

And again the easy stats are first.
Yes, some of these names could be imported (Adán, Raiden, & Nayden for instance, as well as others I may have missed) or poorly spelled, and thus not actually rhyme with Aiden, but unfortunately, there's no way to know for sure, and I imagine both pronunciations are in use in the US.
