In 2014 I featured a series of blog posts introducing you to 2,014 names. For the most part they were names that were brand new to me as well. Some names may be more familiar but I found the meaning or origin or some other aspect of the name made it worthy of inclusion here. You may love some of the names, you may hate some, but hopefully you enjoy learning about all of them.

10 Names Used in 2017

I found these names in data collected by the U.S. Social Security Administration in 2017.

GIRLS


Bushra - this name was given to 38 girls in 2017

Jadore - this name was given to 41 girls in 2017

Markayla - this name was given to 40 girls in 2017

Oumou - this name was given to 39 girls in 2017

Shahd - this name was given to 42 girls in 2017

* the fact that Unknown was given to 42 girls also makes me wonder how many names on the SSA list are later changed for something else.


BOYS


Elder - 44 boys were named this in 2017

Judge - 44 boys were named this in 2017

Majesty - 43 boys were named this in 2017

Negan - 44 boys were named this in 2017. This could be attributed to the popularity of the tv show The Walking Dead as this is a character on that show that has surfaced only in the past 2 or 3 years (though perhaps he is in the comics which have been around longer).

Royalty - 43 boys were named this in 2017
