[Opinions] Re: What is your 2024 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.
