Names go in cycles. My mom's generation was full of Lucilles, Bettys, Elizabeths (full name), Ednas. My generation has Cathy/Kathy, Debbie, Cindy, Susan etc.
Let me show you the PNM list from 2012 and 2013. I think there is a record number of Madisons (Maddysohn, Mattison,) and even more Taylors (Teighlohr, Teylor) with almost as many Megan/Meghans, Morgans, Rachels, with a healthy smattering of Olivias, Samanthas/Sams, Sarahs/Saras/ Shelbys, and Baileys.
But far and away, more than any other name: Alex/Alix/Alyx/Allixa/Allie/Alli/Ali/Alee/Allee/Ally/Aly (deep breath) Alexi/Alexis/Alexandra/Allison/Alison.
I predict, in 18 years, a big run on Rhianna/Ryannah/Rihanna.
