Board 8 > How Popular is your FIRST NAME in the UNITED STATES?? Use this to Find Out!!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is only based on 2018 statistics and obviously a lot of us will have the same results with the same first name but let's see if anyone has a name that cracked the top 10

My name is ranked 125..and has been going DOWNHILL since and surprisingly only 3124 people in the united states named their boys with my name.....

223rd now, and my 2018 name would be Sebastian.
---

634th... tfw your name peaked in popularity in the '40s and '50s, lol
2018 name would be Francesca, that's actually pretty cool!

---

Huh, 6th most popular for 1988. I knew it wasn't uncommon, but I didn't think it was THAT common either. Still 22nd in 2018.

---

3,663rd most popular name in my birth year (29 people)
10,096th most popular name in 2018 (10 people)

I guess this is what happens when you choose such a weird spelling.

28th -> 31st as a male name (down from 15k to 8.5k)

1101st -> 398th as a female name (up from 163 to 771)

75th, Dominic

So now I know that Full Throttle and I have the same name.

---

Kevin?

My name is clearly going to be an old person name very soon. I used to like having a medium popularity name, but now that it's going to date me I'm getting insecure!

---

First name, #4. Middle name, #586

Needless to say I go by my middle name.

7th in 1988, 141 2018.
Justin. And for extra originality points my middle name is Michael. My mom was clearly swinging for the fences.

#4 then vs #41 now

Amazing

28 in 1982 (yes, Sara was super common)
I don't remember the exact current one. Like 136 or something way lower

Current name would be Riley (that's a girls name?)

I know both a guy and a girl named Riley. Pretty sure it's more common as a girl name though, tbh. I think it's kinda cute

---

I've known of people with the last name Riley. (oh wait, wasn't the girl from inside out named Riley?)

---

10th in 1983
71st in 2018

Its saying I would be named Logan if born today.

---

Matthew
20th now, 2nd when I was born in '95.

Would be Noah today, apparently.

---

Adam - 40 in 1981, 78 in 2018 (btw, I love my name)

I'd be Matthew if I were born in 2018.

---

I never liked my name too much but knowing my 2018 name would be Easton, I'm kinda happy with what I got.

---

#51 in 1995, #10 now. It said my 2018 name would be Isaiah.

---

Shame that the Social Security Administration only publicly lists names with 5 or more applicants. I wanna see the REALLY weird ones. Even still, there's still some fun to be had if you dig around enough.

Some of you may be familiar with baby boy Sephiroth from 2005,


but did you know that he was one of FIVE Sephiroths born in the US in 2005? And that there has been an average of 5 Sephys born each year, peaking in 2015 with 11?

---

My birth name was #6 (John, 1976). If I was born in 2018, it would be Benjamin.

However, I legally changed my name to Locke in 2006. I put that in as well (2006 being the birth year), and it was one of 17 names born that year. If I was reborn in 2018, that name would be Nam.

Just think, now when they say their name, some people will reply "oh like the Smash Bros character?".

1st in 1987, 14th now. Would be Liam if born in 2018.
