Happy Unique Names Day! Do YOU have a weird one?
The Social Security Administration tracks the 1,000 most popular boy and girl names each year. And the BOTTOM of each list is pretty interesting.
They haven’t released 2024 stats yet. But the top names in 2023 were Liam, Noah, and Oliver for boys . . . and Olivia, Emma, and Charlotte for girls. So those names AREN’T unique right now.
But the other end of the list is where things get interesting. If your name is down around 1,000, it’s definitely unique. The 1,000th most popular name for boys is Hollis. And for girls, Aylani.
From that Top 1,000 list, here are the bottom 10 for boys and girls . . .
For boys: Hollis . . . Damari . . . Cullen . . . Abner . . . Thatcher . . . Kody with a “K” . . . Ulises, but spelled weird . . . Osman . . . Ephraim . . . and Wren.
For girls: Aylani . . . Ayah . . . Angelique (surprising it’s so low) . . . Shay . . . Sariah . . . Elisabeth with an “S” . . . Aadhya . . . Araya . . . Neriah . . . and Clare spelled C-L-A-R-E.

(The normal spelling of “Claire” ranks 67th. Elizabeth with a “Z” is 15th.)
