Bemusedly, I Relay a List Most Painstakinglee Talleigh-ed (2015)

Yep, more "easy" data (at least comparatively). Here are all the -ley names given to girls in 2015, most --> least common, with alternate spellings combined (as best as I could, anyway).
Only the most common spelling is given, but all were counted.
Usual disclaimer: many are, of course, established names in English or other languages, but since they do (presumably) end in the -lee sound, they're being counted, as they do contribute (however slightly) to the trend.
