(I'm a female names chauvinist, so couldn't be bothered copying out the boys' names. The lists on those sites start in 1929 and it's fascinating to see what's hot and what's not.)

I like\love
Emma
Zara
Grace
Isla
Sophie
Ruby
Audrey
Alice

I'm however shocked to see Billie in the top 100 as well as Charlie and Frankie. Charlie is a boys name or a nickname for either Charles or Charlotte. Frankie is also a nickname, and Billie is a nickname for William a boys name.

Wow, it's almost 1/5 word-names.
Easily 20% if you count Indiana, Chelsea, Eden, Savannah, and Harper.
That's a lot.

Something else I'm noticing is the color scheme.
Ruby, Scarlett, Sienna, Rose, Violet, Poppy, Hazel, Olive.
It's pretty. lol

My Favorites are Alexandra, Charlotte, and Claire. The rest are good/okay or I don't care for. There are no names I actively hate here (except Maddison).

Am I the only one who detects a weird kind of sameness, homogeneousness in this list? Isla, Ayla, Ella, Lola, MilaLayla. EEva, Ava, Ivy, Evie. Pippa, Poppy, Piper, Harper? mia, Maya, Mila?

I know what you mean. It's a micro-look at a sort of not-quite-copycat evolution in name popularity.

Beautiful names -- many of which are popular. I'd use Eve and Madeleine (nice to see this as the most common spelling for a change).
