I found it by accident, but it shows the list of names and their changes.
I did pretty well in the game - last year I tanked. My only fault was saying Jaxon would be a huge rise - forgetting that parents can't spell and they would need to put the redundant S in there for Jaxson - making that a larger rise than Jaxon.
ETA calculations:
Rise: Jaxon = 13, Declan = 97, Penelope = 31
Decline: Jordan (b) = 0, Leslie (g) = 46, Jenna = 29
Total = 217
So I still stunk, but not as bad as last year
Re: This link helps with the SS name game.
Iker went from 646 to 379?! WTH?
ETA: I did pretty well with my guesses!
196 for Aria, 97 for Declan, and 35 for Adeline = 328.
Declining: 32 for Deborah, 53 for Howard, and 123 for Brent (holy cow!) = 208
Grand total: 536!
(Note: original prediction thread is here if you want to calculate.)
Yes, this is insane. Anyone who had the foresight to pick that name is an automatic winner.
BTW, this list only contains names that were in the top 500 in either year, so a lot of names are excluded.
I did ok ? not as well as last year.
Kinley +37
Kenley +8
Harper +64
Analia -145
Aaden -235
Caylee (wrong! went up 79)
total: 410
Baby Name Popularity by State
Harper - +64
Flynn - at least +54...it had never been in the top 1000 before
Owen - +3
Nevaeh - -10
Joshua - -3
Madison - -0
So I was not so good at this. Especially on the declining names.
Rising: Henry (+10), Leo (+25), Theo (+48)
Declining: Kyron (-60), Nevaeh (-10), Stanley (+9)
134 ::sad trombone::
Rise. Declan (+97) Harper (+64) Cora (+72)
Fall. Samantha (-2) Christian (-1) Brian (-21)
257 total. I did ok on the rising names, but failed on the falling names.
