Fastest growing baby names of the last 50 years
All things considered, we are living in a rapidly changing nation. In 2008, Donald Trump was hosting "The Celebrity Apprentice," the first iPhone had just recently been released and Instagram had not yet been invented. Not only is the media we consume evolving at unprecedented rates, so is the population. As the nation's ethnic makeup continues to shift, so too do the names most consistently found on birth certificates, classroom rosters and corporate name tags.
Stacker used data from the Social Security Administration to list the fastest growing baby names of the past 50 years. The slideshow accounts for the 50 female and 50 male names which have risen the highest in popularity between the years of 1968 and 2017. At least 1,000 babies had to be given the name in 2017 for it to be included on the list.
Read on to see if your name or the name of a loved one has grown in popularity in the last half century!
