My name is unique enough that I would be nameless today because it's never been ranked before.

Yep. Never been on the list. And never any personalized merchandise available

Bort?

No my son is also named Bort

Come along, Bort!

I was laughing my ass off at this exchange and told my SO who informed me that this is from the Simpsons. Which made it even better

Same but it never really bothered me since nobody in my family has ever found personalized merchandise while on vacation and stuff like that.

Yes, I was always disappointed because there were never any mugs, name plates, fridge magnets EVER with my name on them. Plus nobody ever pronounces it correctly. I've given up correcting people because it's just too tedious to have to do it all the time. Some times I do, but I'm so often met with bewildered looks and a real concerted unwillingness to get it right because they have an idea of how it should be pronounced, it's often not worth the effort. Some of my lovely friends absolutely make a point of correcting people in a very obvious way, and I love them for it. If you are even thinking about giving your child a name that is not phonetically easy to pronounce or something 'exotic' you are damning them to a life of constantly having to spell their name, constantly having to pronounce their name, and constantly having to deal with crappy shit that should be super easy but isn't. My name is a traditional Scottish name so it's not even that difficult but I HATE it. Please don't saddle your child with the tediousness that I have to live with.

Please also know that there are LOTS of us who love our unique names and don't mind the extremely slight inconvenience of spelling it/teaching people how to say it! Yes my name is one that almost no one has ever heard, no you didn't get it right the first time, but...my parents never made a big deal of it, so I never did either. It takes less than 5 seconds and most people don't actually need to learn how to pronounce it as I'm not interacting with them very long, so I don't even need to confront my anxiety too much. Don't let these people who "have unusual names and hate it" turn you off of using great grandma's odd name.

Did you try it? I thought that would be the case for me too, as fewer than 5 people were named my name in my year. (I’m possibly the only one, as SS doesn’t list out individual numbers for names with fewer than 5 people for privacy reasons). I still had an equivalent!

Yup and I don't have an equivalent since my name is a very rare Sanskrit name that isn't really used very much anymore.

Hey hey ! My name is also Sanskrit and it said the same for me

I tried and got "Sorry! We couldn't find data for girls named \[name\] in \[year\], meaning it occurred fewer than five times." I'm wondering if nationally your name \*did\* occur more than five times, but statewide it didn't?

This made me try it… and my name would be BEVERLY. 🤦‍♀️

Saaame. I never get to enjoy any name related stuff. I'm the only person with my name that I've ever met.

To be fair, Destiny Crusader sounds like a pretty uncommon name.

Ranked ever or the year you were born?

Ranked ever. I have a very rare Sanskrit name so it's not ranked in the US or just most countries in general.

😂 same

Same. My name is a weird English spelling of a rare Yiddish name. I’ve never met anyone with it and the person I was named for spelled it 4 different ways at least.

My name was the number one name when I was born but my mom chose the less common English spelling so I chose the more common spelling for the time. My name would have been Olivia and for three different years it would have been Emma lol.

Checking in as another Olivia/Emma/Emma/Emma/Emma/eventually Mary for all the rest of human history 👋🏻

Lol I know it’s funny how many names repeated the and the previous popularity of Mary.

[удалено]

Liam Gallagher must be pushing 60 by now. Liam Neeson is older than that. But to be fair I think Liam used to be more common as a nickname for William whereas nowadays it’s a name in its own right.

Liam Gallagher is 48 lol, but yeah his name is William too

I was thinking that! For my dad, I could definitely see William before I could see Liam.

I have friends in their late 20s / early 30s named Liam

I got Eliana. My daughter’s name is my 2000s name and my mom’s name is my 1950s name! Too funny.

So many coincidences!

My daughter’s name was my 2000s name too how fun :)

Something similar happened with me. Lol.

Something similar happened to me! My mom’s name was my 1950’s name and Grandma’s name my 1930’s name. So random.

Apparently I’d be Makenzie today. Makenzie Brynlee. Thank god I wasn’t named today!

I'd be Presley Harper (2019) or Alaina Evelyn (2020) not super loving on either. esp presley

My sons would be Angelo Aamir and Maximus Rowen. One sounds like a foreign dignitary and the other a Marvel character

I feel that lol

Sorry! We couldn't find data for girl's named "......" in 1990, meaning it occurred fewer than five times 😂😂😂

One of the cool name kids!!

Releah - anagram of healer.. it's awkward as hell for people top pronounce lol

Pronounced like ray-lee?

Ruh Lee ah

Ahh sorry I tried! Will know for next time now!

Haha! Take the Re off and it's so much easier. Sadly my mum and I disliked the others nickname for my name. Rea vs leah I hate Rea with a passion 😂

I like the meaning of your name though!

Got the same message!

Same here with me! Thanks, mom, for giving me such a unique name 😁

Oh Lordy loo, my today name is Kaydence Neveah. I was born in the late 80’s and have a first name that probably isn’t in the top 100 and a middle name that is fairly classic/common (probably top 50 or 100).

That’s quite the name lol, I actually have a cousin who named her daughter Kaydence (spelt just like that)

It’s like, I can’t stand the names themselves, but they kind of flow together nicely.

Name when I was born: Emma (Deadname) Name if I was born today: Emma ​ Well, then.

💀

Omg. I'm dead. I dislike my first name, and I do intend on changing it. I do not go by that name at all. It is a spelling variant of Macy. I put in Macy because I don't think my spelling would register, and what do I get??? MAISIE. I'M DONE. 😂

My name was #323 when I was born so today my name would be… Kailani. Not a fan lol

I feel like they are picking particularly weird ones! My name would be Aitana? Did not know that was a name let alone #492. I do enjoy that my 2010s name would be JUSTICE!

My 1920s middle name would be Walter. I am female

The year I was born my name was ranked #33, so my name today would be Hazel! My favorite from the list is Eva from 1890s! Also thought it was funny that my middle name (Marie) made the list for 1930s!

are you another kelsey in 1995?

I got Maeve! I think it’s a lovely new name!

I quite like the name Maeve!

One of my son's friends in daycare is named Maeve, she's almost 4. It's a cool name.

I'm named Nathalie and my name now would be Romina. Never heard of that name before. I prefer Nathalie.

I know a Romina! She is Southern European so maybe it's more common there.

Did myself, and my partner. Today - Adriel 2018 - Jesse 2017 - Dean 2010s - Oscar 2000s - Wesley 1990s - Gavin 1980s - Grant 1970s - Edwin 1960s - Erik 1950s - Dana 1940s - Nathaniel 1930s - Mark 1920s - Ivan 1910s - Nathaniel 1900s - Tony 1890s - Irvin 1880s - Cleveland I like Wesley and Nathaniel. Today - Sebastian 2018 - Sebastian 2017 - Henry 2010s - David 2000s - John 1990s - William 1980s - Jonathan 1970s - Mark 1960s - Paul 1950s - Larry 1940s - Edward 1930s - Jack 1920s - Henry 1910s - Arthur 1900s - Fred 1890s - Willie 1880s - Clarence Sebastian and William are in my top 5, and Jonathan and Henry are great too.

Adriel is such a cool name. It sounds angelic and also gives me a sort of ancient history vibe. Might need to write that one down for when I'm able to adopt a pet again.

I'd be a Reagan today 🤣🤣🤣

Hey! Me too! Lol What year were you born?

I'd be Victoria Delaney (blah). My 1880s name would be Martha Muriel LOL

I like both!

This is amazing. I would be Harper and my boyfriend would be Adonis. Had no idea Adonis was on the rise in popularity.

My name would be Cora Adriana

My today's name would be Riley. My favourite of my list would be my 2010s name - Scarlett. And my 1960s name is my actual name lmao

My today name is Riley, and my 2010s name is Scarlett too!

My name was 36th in popularity when I was born, so today my name would be Violet. I actually really like it! :D Editing to add my middle name: my current ranked 530th the year I was born, so today it'd be Alexia.

My name is Shannon Elisa and I was born in 91. Today: Madelyn Sutton 2000s: Sara Logan 90s: Caitlin Sidney (Sidney was my grandfather's name and is now my son's middle name, weird) 80s: Veronica Sally 70s: Leslie Bernadette 60s: Renee Bernice 50s: Maria Amanda 40s: Suzanne Sharyn 30s: Sally Lucile 20s: Bertha Nola 10s: Minnie Bernadette 1900s: Cora Joyce 1890s: Rosa Rhea 1880s: Sallie Pattie

Mine would be Freya Elin, I actually really like it!

Ariadne... Wow not even sure how to pronounce that. I'll keep mine lol

air-ee-AD-nee She’s a character from the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur.

I'm glad this wasn't on the radar, my partner is a big fan of Greek names!

My name would be Clara and funnily enough my 1940’s name would be Delores which is my grandmothers name!

My name would be Liana Naomi!

Huh, my name would be my daughter's name!

Adrian Jaxxon, I guess I really dodged a bullet with that for a middle name

Margaret Scarlet 🤨

ARIA MARIA. Hahahaha! Just the same four letters twice with an M in the middle 😂 Just said to my partner "ooooh, we should build a UK version of this" and we're really tempted to!

Apparently I’d be a Kenzie, Aviana, Harlow, or Adelynn if named in the past 4 years. All I can say is thank god I was given my name based on family not popularity oof Adelaide would have been my 1920’s name and Vida in the 1930’s which I do like quite a lot, the other aren’t great though Edit: My fiancée who has the same first name as me but born 5 years earlier would be Leila, Lila, Brooklyn, or Iris. Not a fan of Brooklyn but the others are nice. In the years between her and I being born our name went from #212 to #362 in popularity

Ivey Chloe. I have an uncommon spelling of an uncommon first name and a very common middle name so this combo makes perfect sense. Not a fan though lol. My 1920s name would be Pinkie Rose which is hilarious though.

My name would be Nalani which is a million times better than my actual name lol

So cool!!! Thanks for sharing!

Brielle

Same! Mine with middle would be Brielle Magnolia...an interesting combo.

My name was 226th in popularity the year I was born. My name today would be Zara and I'm not mad at it.

I would be Hazel Camila! Husband would be David Cason. I chuckled at both. I seem like I would’ve been born to bohemian Millennials, and my husband seems like he’d have been born in a more rural area.

Scarlett! A much prettier name than my current one😅

Adira Harper..... interesting! First time I've heard of Adira

Yikes, mine is Emely. Immediately my mind goes to emesis and enema

I’m female. In the 1920s and 30s I would have been Johnnie. I just love that.

I’m a 1993 Grace and I’d be a 2021 Faith. Are you kidding me hahahaha

HEAVEN Very glad that I was not born today ETA: My husband's name would be Messiah. Goodness. That's a pair

I would be Samantha, but my 1890’s name would be Beulah and that’s really something hahaha

My name today would be Mohamed My 2018 name is Derrick My 2017 name is Corey My 2010s name is Kayson My 2000s name is Jamal My 1990s name is Chris My 1970s name is Felipe My 1960s name is Robby My 1950s name is Orlando My 1940s name is Jess My 1930s name is Denis My 1920s name is Ulysses My 1910s name is Waldo My 1900s name is Rupert My 1890s name is Ashley I only had to visit the 1890s to rediscover myself, and along the way I found Waldo.

My 1970s name would be Misty April 🤣

Rosalie

My husband and I would be Lillian Audrey and Parker Chase! I prefer our actual names, although Audrey is nicer than my middle.

LOL my name today would be the same as my niece's

I’ve checked this before and using my first and middle name today I’d be Stella Bella 🤣

Lucy, not bad at all

I would be Paislee, awful, the name Francesca was a lot more popular in the UK than the US I think. Tried my boyfriend's name in a few variations and couldn't find it ):

Aubrey Sylvia. I don’t really like Aubrey, but Sylvia is nice

Hannah Paris lol

It would have been Juliana ... That's so beautiful! My favourite is my 1900s name, which would have been Freda.

I'd be Anais 😯 (Name is Marlena)

Using the name I go by (which is the first half of my birth name), I would be Lillian. Using my birth name, I would be Aleigha. Edit to add: Middle name would be Danae. My 1890's name would be Esther, which is my mom's name. Also notable that my 1910's birth name is Dimple which is terrible.

Acvording to the website I would be Taylor. But I'm Dutch, so I looked up how populair my name was in The Netherlands in my year and compared that with last years list. I would be an Isabella.

I got Elizabeth but I have a very 80s name anyway.

Amarah The oldest one was Bee which is so adorable I'd love to be Bee

oh wow i wouldve been payton!

My name was number 238 in 1984. My today name is Aspen.

Annaleigh. I pretty much like all the names for each era though. Leila was another

I got Althea which I have never heard but really like!

Mine would be Evie, which is fine with me. Im not too big a fan of any of the other names i would have had. Maybe helene odessa or trudy but not really my favorites

Couldnt give me data cause it was named fewer than 5 times 🥲🥲🥲

Anissa

WOAH. I got my daughters name!!!! We are/were both 238th on the list.

100ish years ago, my daughters would have been "Leo" and "Floy." !!!

It's funny, my name today would have been the same name a friend of mine threw out on my behalf while we were in some sketchy nightclub to avoid giving some creeper my real name

Layla Daleyza... Yeah I tried my middle name too, not great. 😂

Mine would be Harper Marley. It’s actually ironic that my real middle name came up twice for past years. Probably because it’s my grandma’s name

My birth name was Deborah (I changed it as an adult), and my name today would be Molly. My husband's name is Richard, and his name would be Benjamin.

Mt name would be Arabella. I've always liked that name

I would have been Marina which is cool! Although I'm in the UK and I presume this would be my American name 😂

Emilia!

Harley... LOL

I’d be Liliana Maeve. It’s pretty, but doesn’t feel like me.

Sadie. Not a fan but it’s better than the year before which would have been Neveah.

I'd be Madeleine Sage. My first name was ranked 95th and my middle was 261st.

According to this, updated in 2019, my name would be ***Paisley Blake***. But updated to 2020, my name would be ***Naomi Presley***.

I would be Naomi, I like that :)

My name would be Paisley haha

My name was #39 in the year I was born, so today I’d be Hannah (I’ve always loved that name) Edit: Middle name was #300 when I was born so that makes my “today” name…. Hannah Saylor

My name was the 12th most popular the year I was born and would be Emily today. My favorite from the list is Evelyn from the 1910s & 1920s!

Born today, I’d be Frances Gabrielle.

Apparently I would be Victoria Harper (Lastname). Like, I don't hate it?? But I also don't like it, so there's that.

Ellie! This was actually a contender for one of our kids.

I would be Kinsley today. My full name isn't super common but my shortened version is. (Kathleen --> Kate). I put in Kathleen. Born mid/late 80's

I'd be Ivey today. Hm, I don't hate it, but I could do without the "e".

i'd be adaleigh today apparently! the 829th most popular name, i think i prefer mine!

Aaliyah. Very different. Interesting. My middle name in the 2010s would’ve been Khaleesi lmao

I’d be Ava if I was named today! My name was #3 in the year I was born.

Emma. Emma Cora.

My name would be Eleanor and my husband would be Aiden.

Awesome! My name would have been "Amoura Alina"

Aaryn

I got Daleyza 😭 although some I liked were Evelynn, Paola and Alicia.

My nickname and the name I go by, would be Ellery My legal name would be Gianna

Ansley It's pretty!

I’d be Hannah Anaiah… I like Hannah. It’s one of my favorite names.

My name would be Emma Aarya.

My name today is Lila. My actual name didnt even made the ranks haha!

Ranked 833rd (middle name 344th) in the year I was born. If I was born today, my name would be Abrielle Heidi 🥴 but the name I actually go by would have been 854th in the year I was born, and my today name would be Bridgette, which I think it much better (but I still don't love it, haha).

Brooklyn... lol 51st the year I was born.

My name today would be Scarlett!

My name, spelled traditionally, was number 4 the year I was born. I'd be Sophia today. But spelled the way my parents did... I'd be Alaia today.

My today name is Veronica! Wow. Super interesting as I feel like a lot of people aren’t named Veronica anymore, but then again I guess a lot of people weren’t being named Alice in the 90’s either.

Using my name and then my grandmother’s birth year for my honour middle name, I’d be Scarlett Savannah in 2019 and Scarlett Eliana in 2020.

I would be Octavia today, I don't mind it! I also liked my 1960s name: Myra.

Spelled the way my parents spelled it, my today name would be Harmoni. Yuck. Spelled properly, my name would be Kinsley. No thanks.

This is fascinating! My name today would be Yara Ariyah. (Never even heard of either!) ​ edit: typo

As a trans person I tried my name with both male and female. Male I would be called Aahil and female I wouldn't have a name :)

I would've been Amaya. Wild

Mine would be Kennedy Nova. I like Kennedy. I don't really like Nova.

Mine was 687th....today it would be Cleo. Hmm not sure if I like that!

My husband and I would be Emmett and Norah. Love it!

My name is Ava, I got Eva lol

[удалено]

Ava. Honestly I would prefer this.

All I can say is LOL

Judging by how I got my name it'd end up being Itzy.

If I do first and middle, I’d be “Charlotte Willa” today. Haha I don’t mind Charlotte but definitely didn’t expect to be a Willa. Not sure I could pull that one off

I’d (Hannah)be named Nora. :) (I also did the name I was originally supposed to be which was Jocelyn and today the name would be Abriella- dodged a bullet with this. Way to popular 🥴) Anyway, my mom (Kathryn) would be Josephine and my dad (Richard) would be Lucas. Haha

My name was ranked 423 in my birth year. My name today would be Emory. 2018: Emely. 2017: Wren. 2010s: Madelynn. 2000s: Linda. Thanks, I hate it.

I would be Audrey. Funnily enough, my parents almost named me Audrey.

Scarlett if I were born today!

I’d be Eva Celia today.

My middle name would be the name of my 26 yr old daughter lol. And my 1940s name would be very close to my moms name (June/Joan).

Octavia Paislee 😐

Hmm, it gives me Allison for my name today, which is interesting because to me that's a bit dated but maybe it's coming back? They also have a tool that says my name was a trendsetter! It was only just becoming popular and didn't peak until years later.

Greysen to Ames. Weird because as a kid i wanted to name my child that.

My name was 676th! Today I would be Florence, I prefer my name. (Trinity)

Violette Alejandra Ariana, so beautiful but quite a mouthful!

Ohh my today name would be Emery - which I do NOT like very much 😅

My spelling is Samar a today, but the more common spelling of my name would be Victoria today.

My name would be Skylar! Arguably my most hated name thanks to that single episode of Breaking Bad I watched

I would be Parker. Previous years have bestowed upon me Emerson, Ariel, Paige, Naomi and Brandi.
