Enduring Names
Names whose curve barely moves across the whole series. The rarest movement category, and the only one that is a genuine achievement rather than a phase.
Every name here is placed by how its recent years in the birth records compare with its
earlier ones — so the list moves as the records do.
2,237 names, very rare — fewer than 25 babies a year, in United States

A style is our reading of a name. A decade is the register — the names children were actually given, in order, with the counts.
