Hello and welcome to the fourth and final article of my series exploring the US top 50, 2020. We started with outlining the girl and boy sides of the top 50 by sharing some of the new arrivals, old staples, iconic features, and other names that well reflect the different styles and sounds within the group of what many people would agree are popular names.

So we’re giving the boys a turn today! The boys top 50 is bursting with gems, naturally, and I hope that I provide a wonderful summary of all of the names and styles that the top 50 has to offer. That is, in the form of a list of some of the many interesting names that

Well, well, well, am I glad to be back! I had an absolutely terrific vacation, but I sure did miss you all, and I certainly missed my usual dose of name writing. I’ve been working to try and get back in a natural rhythm with the warehouse as of summer, so bear with me through that process.
