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
