Predicted Top 100 Girls' Names 2022

With the new name data coming out this Friday, it is time to predict the popular names once again.  I will begin with the girls' top 100. There have been few changes last year, but I expect more to happen this year.

Here are the names I think will enter the top 100:

• Eloise-Eloise does not just fit in our era of "el" names, but its kidlit connections also makes this today's Madeline. It rose nearly 30 spots last year to #109, so it will take under 10 spots to make this popular.
• Iris-Iris is a goddess name in the key of Luna and Aurora and a vintage nature name like Hazel and Ivy. It has also risen 20 spots to #107 last year.
• Maeve-This has risen from the 170s all the way to the 120s last year under the influence of the television series Sex Education. Rising just 25 more spots will make this popular.
• Raelynn-This has risen little this past year, but its similarity in country-singer association to Paisley gives it potential. 

When new names enter the top 100, there's also a group that leaves. There are still a lot of tired or dated names in the top 100. Here are I ones I think will leave this year:

• Ariana-This spelling has been popular for about 20 years. Alternate spelling Arianna already left in 2019, so it might be time for Ariana go, too. 
• Madeline-Madeline has been in the top 100 for more than 25 years. It has been hovering between #95 and #100 over the past five years. Now that short form "Maddie" feels dated, Madeline might not be popular for much longer. 
• Peyton-Peyton left the top 100 once in 2018 but has returned since. This surname-name no longer feels fresh, though.
• Rylee-This alternate spelling of Riley has moved in and out of the top 100 over the last few years. With Riley slowly falling in use, Rylee lacks reasons to stick around.
