2021 Newbies

One of my favorite things to look at once the new top 1000 names comes out is the names that are new to the chart and also the names that are back on the chart after a year or more off. I've taken to calling the first time rankers Newbies. They have never been listed in the top 1000 since the list was started in 1880. I'd say missing the charts for 141 years is very impressive! 

*Each name has the 2021 rank and the number of spots it jumped in parentheses.*

2018 Newbies

One of my favorite things to do when the new Social Security Administration name list comes out is look to see what names are new to the top 1000 for the first time ever.

Some of the names on the list are names I have heard of before they just haven't been ranked while other names are brand new to me.

The one thing I noticed was the name Briar is on both the girl and boy list and it is also the first year even that it is ranked. What are the odds! Another thing I picked up on was there are less names on the newbie list this year than there were last year. 

What are your favorite names from the list?
