  • The "ayden" names declined (Aidan, Hayden, Brayden, Ayden).
  • More classics came back (Leo, Theodore, Everett, Wesley). 
  • Biblical names continued to rise (Asher, Elias, Ezra, Ezekiel).
  • Single-syllable names continued to fall (Blake, Cole, Sean, Juan).
  • Names ending in "ee" continued to decline (Brody, Zachary).
  • More short names ending in "n" became common (Jaxon, Nolan, Roman).
  • Names ending in "a" trended (Noah, Jeremiah, Ezra, Josiah, Isaiah, Luca).
I'm not as enthusiastic about boys' names and I am girls' names, so my Top 100 History posts for the boys' names might have a little less quality than the girls' posts. I apologize if you think this is true. Still, I tried to be as accurate as possible.

With the new name data coming out this Friday, I tried to get this series done as quickly as possible.
