[Opinions] Ariel still ranks for a boy though

And is pretty steady in the mid 500s, so 400-500 boys are given the name every year.
Yes, girls have 3x that, but currently, I don't compare Ariel with Lesley, Ashley, Kelly, Shannon. It's more on par with Alexis, Finley, Payton. IMO.
Also for what it's worth, my first association with Ira is that I'm reminded of a few books that were read to me as a kid-- about a girl named Ira. I'd still be pretty pleased to see it on a boy though. Ariel too.

So should we bring back Lesley, Ashely, Shannon, Kelly... Tracy and the rest?
Yes please. :)
