Rising Names
Measured from the birth records, not asserted. A name is rising here because its recent years are ahead of its earlier ones in the register — not because anyone declared it a name to watch.
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.
662 names, very rare — fewer than 25 babies a year, in United States
Or Browse by Decade
A style is our reading of a name. A decade is the register — the names children were actually given, in order, with the counts.
