Baby name changes …

[Axtremus]

Saw a WaPo article on this. The folks at Social Security Administration ran some numbers and compiled a list of most-changed baby names, names changed from, and names changed too.

Try making on what the most frequent justification for name changes it, and what the most frequent names “changed from” and names “changed to”.

Simple spelling mistakes, e.g.,
Issac —> Isaac
Chole —> Chloe
Conner —> Connor

… then you get to intentional name changes not due to simple spelling errors.

@Axtremus said in Baby name changes …:

Chole

That's OR-speak for a gallbladder.

Could be worse I suppose. "Placenta" comes to mind.

This reminds me that Oprah got her name because of a typo and was meant to be named Orpah. True story.

Not sure why you call them baby names. Is the list for name changes in general, or baby name changes, whatever that means?
