Help[Opinions] Re: What is your 2024 name
in reply to a message by Manipura
I thought your percentage of use was a good idea until I saw that 11 names tie for my middle name.

That'd still put the rankings in perspective, though, right, if 11 spots apart are essentially the same level of popular? (Girls' names #668 through #1000 are all the same percentage on BtN actually, and #141 through #1000 are all less than 0.1% difference; #572 was used twice as much as #1000 if you look at exact #s of births, but it's less than 300 apart - the difference between #1 and #2 is 8 times that).
The (2022) difference between #16 and #44 is 0.12%; in 1989, those spots were 0.4% apart...#1 and #16 were 1.62% apart; now they're about 0.54% apart...#1 and #44 were about 2.02% apart; now, those are about 0.66% apart....Olivia at #1 now is used at about the same rate as #12 was back then...the distance between Olivia and Raelynn at #100 is about .77%, so about the same difference between #1 and #16/17/18 then...#143 through #1000 were within 0.1% back then too! #696 through #1000 were tied...
Percentage-wise, the distance between my name at #44 from #1 back then was (more than 2x) greater than the distance between #1000 and #1 now. That's funny for me to think about, at least.
