Predicted Top 100 Girls' Names 2021

Every Friday before Mother's Day, the Social Security Administration publishes the new name data. That day is this Friday. Thus, I will make predictions for the new top 100 names below.

Names enter and leave the top 100 this year. These are the names that I think will enter the top 100:

  • Alaia-Alaia jumped 64 spots up the charts last year. If it even jumps by just 20 spots, Alaia will officially be in the top 100. 
  • Clara-Clara was in the top 10 in its heyday, but for some reason this is not rising. Hopefully that changes soon.
  • Melody-Melody is a new classic making an early revival. It has the musical associations of Aria and the rhythm of Emily. 
  • Raelynn-Paisley has been in the top 100 for years. Raelynn mirrors Paisley in its complete femininity, contemporary style, and country singer association. 
These are the names that I think will leave the top 100:
  • Adeline-Several spellings of this name were so popular recently that Adeline quickly felt overused.
  • Madeline-Madeline has been in the top 100 for over 25 years now. It might be time for Madeline to decline.
  • Peyton-Peyton has moved in and out of the top 100 lately. I think this might go down again.
  • Samantha-Samantha has been a top 100 name for over 40 years and dropped 10 spots. If it drops over 10 spots, Samantha will retire from popularity.

Names Inspired by Ivy

Image
Ivy was one of the nature names that emerged during the Victorian Era. It ranked in the 200s in America and was a top 100 pick in England before its decline. Over the past decade, Ivy became a "j-shaped" revival, meaning it came back more popular than ever before; it entered the top 100 in 2018. Parents could be seeking Ivy as an alternative to Ava, another name that is both vintage and modern. However, Ivy has several differences. Even though the nature name is completely feminine, it feels more tailored than girly. Despite ending in the "ee" sound, Ivy sounds more confident than cute (the poison ivy and Ivy League associations could be factors). For those who find Ivy too popular, are looking for sister names, or just love the name, here are some similar names below the top 100: Aster A flower name that also possibly means "star," Aster is rising as a tailored girls' choice even though it is also rising, to a lesser extent, for boys.  Avis This short

Disney Boys' Names

What do Pinocchio, Mickey, and Peter have in common? They belong to characters in Disney animated shorts and movies.  However, as with girls' names, Disney boys' names aren't necessarily those from the movies. Instead, they reflect the values of Walt Disney; vintage names with built-in dreams that are neither childish nor heavy. These names sound child-friendly but appropriate for adults. Here are some boys' names infused with Disney values that will especially appeal to Disney fans: Arthur Arthur "Wart" is the protagonist who draws out the sword and becomes king in  The Sword in the Stone . Disney Legend Art Babbitt injects the name with more dreams. Nickname "Art" and the aardvark of children's literature and television fame add on a friendly vibe.   Calvin Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes comics might bring up childhood memories. On the accomplished side, there's Protestant reformer John Calvin (1509-1564) and former President Calvin
