[Facts] My column on the top USA names of 2024, spellings added together
Here is a link to my annual column on the top names of 2024, with spellings I believe are pronounced the same added together from the full SSA data:

In the column I mention that Enzo and Ailany were the fast rising names among my top 100 list. The top five fastest rising were:
Boys: Enzo 19.8%; Santiago 16.8%; Thiago 15.7%; Bennett 15.2%; Roman 14.7%
Girls: Ailany 259.4%; Wrenley 29.6%; Daisy 26.9%; Alana 25.5%; Lainey 25.4%
I wonder if Roman's recent popularity has something to do with the character on the streaming TV show "Succession".

259.4% compared to 29.6% is puzzling. Great article, as always!
You mentioned Ailany in the column, and it's truly baffling why it surged so much.
