Yaretzi??? Wow. That's really cool.

I bet now that i posted this comment more than 1% of people will guess it.

Some of us teach and know little girls with that name. Popular. Also Yareli is frequently used.

"Popular" is a bit of an exaggeration. It's still a tiny percentage of people who name their kids that.

so is Yolanda

I guessed Yolanda just because of dance moms. Otherwise wouldn't ever guessed it

That's the one that surprised me most. I guessed Yvette, Yvonne, but never heard of Yaretzi until this quiz.

You might say they're trying for something "Unique."

I have a hard time believing some of these are the MOST popular in that letter. How is Harper more common than Hailey or Hannah? Kaylee is more popular than Kate, Brooklyn more than Brianna, it's really surprising.

hailey? never heard of that.

you have never heard the name Hailey? Really? That surprises me. I feel like there are millions and millions of Haileys

The data is from the Social Security Administration. It's accurate.

I wonder if all the alternate spellings that burned out teen moms give their kids count toward the usual spelling. Like The People's Popular Front of Judea, this could cause splitting in the ranks.

I think people also forget it is about baby names... They say I dont know anybody by that name and I know tonnes of people by the name ".......". They dont think and realize that the people whose name they know were popular babynames a few decades ago when they were born.

Hailey/Haley/Hailie is super common. My niece is named Hailey and she's rarely the only one in her class with the name.
+1
Level 82
Jun 27, 2021
though she's also almost done with high school now so no doubt naming fashion has moved on... time flies..

Maybe the popularity of Harper is something to do with the author Harper Lee?

I read somewhere that the name took off after Victoria and David Beckham used it for their daughter.

It's really pathetic that people are actually naming their daughters "Brooklyn". Cringeworthy.

Level 78
Jun 24, 2014
No borough of New York should be considered legitimate for use as a first name.

Agreed! Brooklyn is an awesome place but an, er, unusual choice for a first name!

A friend of a friend once had a dog (male) named "Bronx!"

Sorry to nitpick, but Bronx isn't the name of any borough. It's The Bronx. Note the capital "T".

Level 37

I can see naming her Brooklyn if you're the only one doing it. Wanna be unique, I get it. But everyone else is doing it too! That's the crowd mentality for you.

Level 75

Just had twin nieces born named Brooklyn and Gracelyn. Using place names for people isn't unusual. I remember past eras of Dakota, Sierra, Cheyenne, Cody, Dallas, Denver, and Paris. I might have to draw the line at some, however. I can't imagine a child named Reykjavik or Honolulu but it wouldn't surprise me to see those on the list, too.

Better than Delilah, IMO. At least Brooklyn can be shortened to Brook(e), which is a fairly common name. But Delilah? Of all the Biblical names to pick from?

better than Jezebel, I suppose.

Maybe they were fans of the show Gargoyles. Could have been worse. She could be named Bronx.

haha well done quiz setter for bamboozling the Philistines re the wonderful Natalie Merchant. As aBrit, shame on any American who doesn't know of her....and as for Kennedy? Taylor? Wtf? What horrendous names...

Taylor's not too bad, is it? Swift, and I've known at least 2 other female Taylors. Really, though, Kennedy...

I went from berliner to Köln (cologne), which also seem a very strange things to name your child

Level 73
May 14, 2019
I had a lovely student a few years ago named Kennedy and since then I've always liked the name for a girl. Perhaps people make names beautiful or obnoxious by their own personalities. Yaretzi is really pretty too, and not unusual among Hispanic students, although I've seen Yareli more often.

@ILikeQuizes, I know, right?! I was stuck trying to think of a word that starts with K that means Jelly Donut! ....Just kidding, just kidding :)

I can think of two Kennedys: 1) The mononymous Kennedy was an MTV VJ in the 90s for the outstanding and now-defunct "Alternative Nation" hour of – gasp! – actual videos. Now she's a Republican talking head that sometimes pops up on Fox News. She's definitely a social liberal: pro same-sex marriage, etc., but after Kurt Loder turned her on to Ayn Rand, she's now some sort of Objectivistesque libertarian or something. She was always pretty weird. 2) Willow's cradle-robbed girlfriend in Buffy the Vampire Slayer was named Kennedy.

Never heard of Yaretzi. Looked it up and it means "You will always be loved." Awww.

Ximena is not a popular name.
+3
Level 66
May 5, 2019
but probably the most popular one with an x. (I hadnt heard about it either )
+7
Level ∞
May 13, 2019
Ximena is a popular name. It was the 126th most popular name from 2014-2018. During that period, there were 12,714 baby girls in the United States who were given the name Ximena. Keep in mind that the size of the Hispanic community in the U.S. is quite large.
+2
Level 73
May 14, 2019
It's quite popular, although you often see it spelled as "Jimena".
+6
Level 71
Aug 8, 2018
Can you accept Zoe? I think that spelling is more common than "Zoey" and it still works with the clue.
+1
Level 66
May 5, 2019
Here Zoey is a guy and for girls it is Zoe or Zoë. (also brooklyn makes me think of a boys name)

Thank you for the Wile E. Coyote joke, that was great.

I was hoping X would be Xochitl, that's my favorite X name.

I spoke it into existence, Xochitl has made the list. Exciting times!

My guess for "Misspelled clothesmaker" was Tammy. As in Tammy Hilfiger, a misspelling of Tommy Hilfiger.

Level 83

Multiple people calling their child 'Unique' seems to defeat the object a bit.

One day, people will stop using surnames as first names - I mean, Harper, Riley, Taylor, Kennedy, grrrr. Like there aren't enough name choices that you have to use a surname or, nearly as bad, an object. That said, my biggest gripe is when someone has clearly either seen a name written down and can't pronounce it so a generation of Sians become Sy-anne. Or the other way, hear a name but have no idea how to spell it so just opt for phonetic - Shaun, Jazmin, Neeve etc
+1
Level 71
Oct 24, 2019
I'm not a huge fan of surname names myself, though it is worth mentioning that a lot of names now commonly viewed as first names - Ashley, Cameron, Bradley, etc. - originated as surnames.

Level 62
Aug 21, 2019
Is Zoey really now more common than the seemingly more common spelling of Zoe? Seems like you should accept the latter anyway.
+1
Level 82
May 19, 2021
Would you be able to accept other common spellings of some of the names? Hayley for Hailey, Kayliegh for Kaylee, etc.

It says exact spellings necessary, and I think at this point there about 50 snowflake spellings of each name

Suprised to see my name (Caroline) on the list. I know only three other Carolines: One is 50, one 23, and one 6. I'd say its really scattered and not popular at all, at least in Canada.

i checked the source and there are people out there naming their child Unknown oh boy

That could just be a placeholder name until they think of something more permanent, if they can't decide on a name straightaway.

Names from 2020 should be part of the quiz title. If you don't know any babies or toddlers, chances of doing well on this quiz are slim - especially because it doesn't allow spelling variations.
