adalyn

i have many thoughts on this, but primarily...
noah is number two and rising? thats sad. that was our top boys name. also, i was surprised to see amelia/emilia at number one for girls. no idea it had shot up so quickly. the husband and i had amelia on our list too. bummer.

ETA: this is the babynames.com list, not the SSA list

Scarlett's #21? that kinda sucks. oh well, I'm still going to use it eventually -- even if it's #1 by the time I have kids.

I've never met a Scarlett and was like...what?! when I saw it there.

it's also on a list my mom was reading a few days ago predicting the top 10 baby names of 2020 -- she called me over and was like, "hey, Sam, Scarlett's on here! how do you feel about that?" lol

I know one Scarlett is in my April 2008 baby community.
