You did not specify the sex for the name Brandon, so we used male data based on popularity. Years where ranks are the same does not imply that the number of births are the same. Name data are from Social Security card applications for births that occurred in the United States.

Its also strange how one never meets people named “Adolph” any longer.

[MinorityRepublican]

Brandon will become more popular after Joe Biden is no longer the President. People will forget about the slogan “Let’s go Brandon”.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It has been declining steadily for years.

So looking at it logically, no.

[DoodleBob]

Per the Soc Sec website, “Adolph is not in the top 1000 names for any year of birth beginning with 2000.”

[drSteve78]

My nephew Brandon (James) now goes by James.

[Deaf Smith]

Still have Adolph seasonings.

Has a smokey or burnt taste.

[ifinnegan]

There are 90210 reasons it used to be popular.

[Newtoidaho]

The senile pos criminal pedo squatter in the white hospice has also killed off the name “Joe”, 800th in popularity last year.

[dfwgator]

How is “Don” or “Donald” doing?

[Nateman]

The place where Pantload Joe fell off his bike temporarily became a fake bike shop in the fake town of Brandon Falls. Google eventually caught on and removed it from their maps.

[Newtoidaho]

Not good. Donald at #1630, Don at about #650.

I substitute teach in our local high school district, and I have not seen a single Linda, Lisa, Lynn, Anne or Nannette on any roll sheet. These used to be common names. John, for centuries the most common boy’s name in the English-speaking world is now rare, as is William, Robert, Richard and Edward.

Since 2009, Hillary was not in the top 1000.

Now it's Balakey, JayQuellen and A A Ron.

[TheWriterTX]

According to the internet, Linda was the only female baby name that at one time was more popular than Mary (which ranked #1 for many decades).

Despite the rise of “unique” names, the most popular baby names are trending towards more traditional; Sophia, Amelia, Grace, etc.

[Zack Attack]

Brandon is a great name. One POS president can’t destroy a name.

[SPDSHDW]

they’re “forgetting” to mention the amount of “hispanic” and “muslim” names which are overtaking “white” names.

[alexander_busek]

Its also strange how one never meets people named “Adolph” any longer.

But strangely, "Achmed," "Abdul," and "Mahmoud" are increasing in popularity.
