Names Inspired by Wyatt

Image
As with many masculine surname-names, Wyatt has plenty of history, associating itself with outlaw Earp and ranking in the charts almost every year since 1880. However, it was never popular until the last few decades; Wyatt has only been a top 100 staple since 2004. Wyatt Earp gave his name a rustic cowboy charm as well as reminding parents of its history. Alongside being a modern traditional, Wyatt has a distinctive sound with one dominant spelling. Finally, despite its roots as a surname, Wyatt feels more like a first name and is almost fully masculine in usage.  Parents who find Wyatt too popular, or those searching for brother names or simply more names to love, will find this list useful. Here are multiple names below the top 100 inspired by Wyatt: Atticus Famously connected to Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird , this name hails to Alabama. Nothing rhymes or sounds like Atticus, either, and it has a bit of history despite being more popular today (but still below the top 2...

Marie

Latin Maria has been popular in America for most of its history, as has the English Mary. Yet, the same cannot be said about the equally classic French form. Marie, which has the various meanings of Mary ("bitter," "sea," etc.), has endured in France, if not in the English world, from the Middle Ages. Many namesakes emerged throughout the name's long history, including Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the last French queen, and Marie Curie (1867-1934), who lived in Paris even though she was born Maria in Poland. Marie has only left the French top 100 in 2021.  In the English-speaking world, Marie emerged during the nineteenth century. It was a top 100 name in the United States through 1957, ranking within the top 10 between 1894 and 1914. Maire has also been popular in England between 1904 and 1984, Australia until 1965, and New Zealand until 1982.  Marie may no longer be a common name, but it remains in the top 100 in several European nations besides France.

Top 100 Girls' Names 2023

Image
The new top 100 girls' names came out this past Friday. Like every year, I guessed some changes right and found others surprising. DROPOUTS AND ENTRIES As with last year, more names left the top 100 than I expected. Here are the eight dropouts: Aubrey -This name dropped from #81 to #101 this year. I knew this Audrey sound-alike was heading out, but I did not expect it to this year; it dropped less than twenty spots last year.  Ayla -This potential double-"a" Isla sound-alike fell from #98 to #104 after just one year in the top 100; a fate I, of course, did not expect. Serenity -As I expected, peaceful Serenity fell from #96 to #105 this year after 14 years in the top 100.  Bella -I did not expect Bella, often a short form of Isabella, to leave this soon since it only dropped 12 spots in 2022. Yet, it fell from #85 to #106. As Isabella continues to decline, Bella has definitely lost its freshness. Skylar -As with Serenity, I expected this top-100-name of over 10 years to f...
