If even 5 babies receive the same given name in a year, it is tracked by the social security bureau and released as public data

https://catalog.data.gov/dataset?tags=baby-names

It can be fun to go through this data and find silly names

Some of the more interesting ones I've come across from the most recent year available (2021)

There were

69 male babies named "Lucifer", 5 Demon

155 Link
100 Kirby
68 Eevee
32 Luigi
30 Gohan, 11 Goku, 6 Goten
24 Abra
21 Epic
18 Yoshi
13 Tien
11 Ganon, 200 Gannon
9 Kaiba
8 Sonic
7 Samus
6 Sony
5 God, 62 Goddess
5 Anime

More seriously

Ronin M 707
Sincere M 460
Tony M 388
Aeneas M 23 ... was there a fall of Troy film/show I missed? Or is it popular among American Greeks and flavours thereof?
Similar topics
Zeus M 174
Acheron M 5
Achille M 8
Achilles M 191
Achilleus M 17 (not really seen that one before as a spelling).
Aries M 247
Ares M 565
Arcadian M 8
Archimedes M 12
Dionysus M 8 . Would not have expected that one as high given the background but hey, also beats out several that I would have thought more well known. Though I feel more of the poor bastards names Eros M 122
Apollo M 778
Apollos M 17
Apolo M 12
Poseidon M 32
Hades M 23
Hercules M 21 (no Heracles which is possibly odd here given that seems to be one of the major American choices of spelling)
Kratos M 15 is fairly minor to make it up on the list, wonder if it is the games.
Atlantis M 12
Atlas M 2523
Atreus M 432
Artemis M 112
Artemus M 17
Morpheus M 5
Zephyr M 188
Zephyrus M 13
Icarus M 10
Theseus M 33 sadly Minato M 8 is as close as it gets otherwise.
Pollux M 7
Perseus M 127
While I am mostly ignoring the female side in this
Persephanie F 6
Persephone F 364
Persephonie F 5
Phenyx F 8
Pheonix F 15
Phoenix F 1032
Phoenixx F 9
Phoenyx F 45
Phyllis F 11
Phynix F 13

Also Pheonix M 17

Some might named for the city though.

Pharaoh M 133
Pharoah M 26
Pharoh M 5


Persephanie F 6
Persephone F 364
Persephonie F 5

Midas M 29

Adonis M 1715
Adonnis M 36
Adonys M 13
Lot to be saddling a poor little baby with.


Didn't see Prometheus which is odd, or maybe the film tanked the notion (there is apparently year on year stuff so might be interesting to see the drop off).


Caron M 13 I don't know if that fits but I did not see Charon so guess it is something else.
Cleon M 7 is probably something else but names that have been around since Ancient Greece if I am collecting them.

Atheena F 6
Athena F 2688
Athenea F 11
Athenna F 6
Athina F 13
Athira F 7
Athyna F 6
Atiana F 7

Atlanta F 7
Atlantis F 14
Atlas F 187

Artemis F 314
Artemisia F 9

No Centaurs, Minotaurs, Cerberus, Chimeras, Cyclops, though
Delphina F 8
Delphine F 41
No gorgons and Harper F 8388 but no harpies. Similarly you are going to have to look hard to release the kraken.
Though surprisingly
Lamaya F 9
Lamia F 20
Lamiah F 7
At least we appear to be spared Medusas running around, though do be wary of Siren F 12.

Onto more modern mythology then Kahleesi F 9 appears to still represent despite 2021 being rather after the last series, I read an article some years earlier saying there were an enormous number of them in a variety of spellings.
Kaleesi F 13 is possibly another.


Cletus M 9 fairly popular actually. Thought it might be dead and buried.


Andrea M 18... for a male name?
Zoe M 20 .. same.

Armour M 5. Hope they have a bitching last name, and curious to see a u in there.
Atom M 35.
Babyboy M 10... are they giving out pethidine to mothers in labour again?
Blayz M 6... maybe at least a dictionary.
For reference
Blaise M 217
Blaize M 54
Blayz M 6
Blayze M 52
Blaze M 319

Boomer M 5... given the average age of people then in 15 years most of the baby boomers are going to be dead. Are we then going to hear the phrase don't be a boomer/you're such a boomer refer to a person specifically?

Branch M 78... I understand picking an alias based on things you see when the time comes but one hopes they would put a bit more effort in. Same for Dawood M 17 as well I suppose.

Speaking of trends then Dejour M 8

Delorean M 5

Naming after the place of conception is not cool so my sympathies to Dennys M 7, and while what they were watching is probably worse so double to those poor Espn M 6 (at least they will probably be broke by the time they come of age and the kids might not know it).

Quest M 76

Going alphabetical is also fun to see some of the spelling choices

I already listed Goku and Gohan ;A; (and Goten)

Dennys may be the most depressing of all

As far as Dionysus, we even have our own on temp Dionicio - I bet you would get a few more hits if you searched Spanish versions of those names as well

Also Achilleus is the Greek spelling

How about... An old name that'll never get young
Example of such name in french are
Gertrude
Solange
Bérangère
Huguette
Okay, those are all female names, but honnestly, in Quebec, you'll never see a young 3years old girl named like that, because these names are strictly reserved for 70+ years old fart ladies :tpi:
