Names that rose through the 2010s

Names whose ranking improved by at least a quarter between the start and the end of the 2010s, within one official list.

Measured inside the decade itself: the earliest and latest ranked years within 2010s in the same published list, requiring data near both ends of the decade so a name present for only two years never stands in for the whole of it.

60 names, selected from the 2,577 names in the catalogue with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon). Based on official statistics from national registrars. Data sources · Methodology
