Over all almost every name in the top 10 fell most by less then 20 but others have plummeted since then especially Chelsea. Only four names remain in the top 20 just 16 years later though none of them seem particularly dated and can all easily work on a child.
Wow they’re all still popular, and 40% of them are still Top 10! They’re very safe choices, aren’t they?
All of them are still in the top 50 and are all pretty classic choices (except Chelsea)
These names are shown to be popular in the names of 15-16 year olds also Just shows that the more traditional names have stuck with us
