I didn't realize Mia was so popular! I really like it.

Ugh, Jayden. Finally cracking the top 10.

I'm surprised it didn't crack the top 10 like 5 years ago! My daughter had 2 Jayden's in a 4K class of 8. lol.

It did, but the SSA doesn't combine spellings. Since it's one of those names that is spelled 18 different ways, it's hard to really gauge its placement on the name scale. Same with all of the Aidan variants.
