Baby Names 2015

Allow me to introduce to you the 2015 SFS List of Baby Names that Combine Similar Pronunciations. That baby name list is the place to go in case you are wondering what are the most popular baby names in 2015 regardless of how they are spelled. The Social Security baby name list does not adjust the rankings based on alternate spellings (like Catherine/Katherine), but SFS does.
It was just Mother’s Day, so the SSA released the name rankings for 2015. Last year’s new champion, Jackson is again the most popular boy’s name in the US. And it is widening the gap over Aiden – Jackson’s count is going up and Aiden’s count is going down. Not looking good for the former champ. No controversy for the girls – it’s Sophia again. Her numbers are going down, but all the top girls’ numbers are going down so that doesn’t mean much.
Some Stats
- There was not a lot of change at the top for the boys. The top 10 names are the same, and in the same order except William and Jayden swapped spots at 7 and 8.
- The top 8 names for the girls are the same as 2014, it’s just Mia and Emily swapped spots.
- Noah is once again the highest-ranked boy’s name that has no spelling variations, at number 3.
- Abigail is the highest-ranked girl’s name that has no spelling variations, at number 10.
- Girl names still have more spelling variations than boy names (295/1000 vs. 203/1000 alternates)
- Aiden still has the most spelling variations for the boys, but it dropped from 9 to 8. Aidyn is the one that dropped off the list.
- For the girls, Adalynn leapfrogged the other names to claim the title of most variations – now at 7.
- Sophia is still the runaway favorite for the girls, but the gap is closing. Sophia is on the decline
