[Opinions] Re: Popularity that surprises you

I agree with you about Steven v. Stephen. I think those named Steven shorten their name to Steve in daily life. As for Kelsey and Chelsea, they're different names to me.
How fast Theodore made it to the top 10 while being a vintage name. It's not like Liam, Elijah or Mateo.
Emilia not within the top 20. This name has many qualities that make it fit in with Mia, Isabella or Emma: similar sounds, common initial, resemblance to other names, usage in many, many languages, used by Hispanics, famous bearers (Emilia Clarke), sudden popularity...
Elowyn cracking the top 1000, but not Elowen, the original spelling.
Jream. I don't think I have to elaborate.
Vincent and Victor's steadiness. They were never out of the chart.
I thought Arlo, Louis and Atticus were more popular, in the top 100.
Xander rapidly fading in popularity.
Emmeline, a medieval name, resurfacing in 2014.
