I'm actually really happy that in the early 1900s each of the top ten names were wayyyy more common than the top ten names are today. We went from Mary's 600k lead to Emma at less than 200k. That means we have way more diversity in names than before. As much as people fear giving their kids popular names because there could be 4 more Emma's in their class, at least their entire class isn't named Mary.

What parents don't seem to understand is that if you give your kid a rare name, it decreases their chances of being hired. People subconsciously think weird names must mean the person is weird and thus not a good fit for the job.

[@danilotroncoso9170]

​@@desireandfirei think the video is about new born girls

[@SLOBeachboy]

Well I’m sure that Mary is still one of the top names in devoutly Catholic cultures. Of course, the title of the video actually doesn’t mention in what country these are the most popular names but since the information came from the SSA it is obviously the USA. In any case, what I find interesting is that one of the most popular names in the 1880’s “Emma” has reemerged to become the most popular girl’s name of today. Thankfully however I don’t think there is much of a chance of Ethel or Bertha ever making a comeback.
