Lorelei up on SSA Charts. Concerned.
| Fri, 05-12-2006 - 12:14pm |
For all of you who have been with me while I've agonized over the name Lorelei, here's my question. The name has risen significantly on the charts (not surpisingly) from 966 to 802. There were 247 births in 2004 and 316 in 2005. Compared to the use of Emily which was 23,544, it's still not that popular. Should I even be concerned about its rising use? I mean, 802 is still a ways up there. It doesn't look like it will becoming an "Emily" or "Olivia" for quite some time, if ever. I have yet to hear a Lorelei from where I am from, so should I still keep it as a possibility?

Wow, you're ambitious -- my goal was to pick names that didn't hit the top 50!
I think you're just fine with Lorelei. And I love it!!!
Thanks for the feedback! I do believe I'm overanalyzing this name way too much. :) I may lay off it for awhile and come back to it later on. I think all of you are right about the popularity issue - not something to be concerned with at #802!
