The SSA dropped the new list. It's boring. Here's the rank change list which is more interesting.

Stray thoughts:

All 238 people who named their sons Kylo are awful people.

Oh good, look at all the Hawaiian and Polynesian girl names that went up in popularity. Thanks white people.

It's kinda funny that the 5 biggest decreases in girl name usage are all variants of Caitlin.

Anything stick out to you? Any names you're sad to see jump in popularity?

I'm annoyed to see my daughter's name, my son's name and my possible future son or daughter's names on there, but they're all towards the bottom so they didn't jump a lot. 

Also, anything like Royalty, Princess, Heaven or variations just have me smh.

I'm a bit surprised at the huge jump in Alistair...and I wouldn't have guessed Bridger was even a name.

@NME44 yeah. I'm disappointed that our top names (Leona and Tobias) jumped up a bunch of spots too.

There's a lot of names like Bridger that I wouldn't have thought was a name on there.

I'm also sad that names like Royalty, Princess, Reign, etc are jumping up in popularity. Like what if your daughter actually marries a prince and becomes a princess. She will be Princess Princess. I hate giving kids titles as names in the first place, but these names are too far

Both Dylan and Logan are on the increase for girl names. 

People are still using Khaleesi.

The name 'Wynter' advanced more than the actual correct spelling of 'Winter'. Speshul.

As an Ophelia mom, I'm kinda bummed. But not really surprised.

The Caitlyn drop is totally a result of Jenner.  It was on the decline anyway because it's more popular as a mom's name now but I can see how people are steering clear now with the name in the news so much for Jenner.

Other than that the list is very similar to last year and I'm interested to see if my state changes much.

Another fun tool.

lol I love that your reasoning for hating the name is the possibility that she may grow up to be a real princess
