      @@a-10warthog51 it's a biblical name with its origins in Aramaic/Hebraic and not an Hispanic name. The written form used in Texas is certainly Iberian (and not Hispanic as Americans define it to be only Spain). Nonetheless, it is just as Joseph that is the written form (with variations) for the same name by French, German and English speaking countries (and some Nordic countries) or Yūsuf for Arabic, Yousef for Persian, Yossi in Israel or even Giuseppe in Italy.
      Sounds silly but it's a very different definition.

      Film culture had a major influence on little girl names. Mary was popular for a long time because 11 million people watched the popular actress Mary Pickford in movies during the silent era, Debra/Deborah in the 50s because of the popularity of actress Debbie Reynolds. Another fun fact is Debbie Reynolds was originally Mary but studio mogul Jack Warner said it was too passé and decided to name her something more modern.

    1970: *[Arkansas is back, with a few states having departed. In Utah, David is debuting, but only lasted in Utah for that year.]*
    1982: *[The unexpected happens. All of the former James states, having tossed around a few names within themselves and given in to Michael a few times, all agree to name their boys Christopher. Michael still dominates the entire country, but the Christopher empire has spread to Vermont, Oregon, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Louisiana. They make up for West Viriginia, whom had gone against their main group, and was Jason. Florida still hadn't gotten over their former foe, Michael.]*
    1983: *[West Virginia rejoins Christopher.]*
    *From there, the country threw around main names, one of a few being Jason. Our main southwest group, excluding Florida and West Virginia, have agreed on William. Hopefully, they can be consistent.*

      Muhammad, and variations of it, are some of the most common names in the world. While it may not be accurate to say it would cover the Middle East completely from start to finish, it would probably dominate the region. He wasn't being particularly racist by making that statement unless you're going to call slight exaggeration of the name's popularity as racism, which it's not.

      I think Linda entered the list in 1940 and dominated it by the mid-40s because the actress Linda Darnell became popular in film in 1940 and remained popular into the 50s. If you look closely, the first state "Linda" dominates is Utah in 1940, the same year Linda Darnell starred in Brigham Young, a movie about two mormon lovers during the time of the establishment of Mormonism in the 1840's. And the next state Linda dominates is California, that's Hollywood.

      TRaGiC GaMeR
      That name didnt even exist before. It's just popular now because so many dumb millennial parents are trying to give their kids unique names by combining short names with other short names or giving them horrible spellings by supplementing "i" with "y", etc. A common technique used for boys is simply adding "ayden" or "axton" to the end of a name to make cool sounding kid names. But imagine those kids when theyre like 35-50 years old and they have professional jobs and introduce themselves with these hyperactive edgy soccer ball-kicking 4-year-old sounding names like "Ryker", "Tyker", "Dashden", "Brayden", "Tayder", "Braxton", "Traxton", "Jaxssen", "Jaydor", "Baylor", "Jaysen", "Jordyn", "Mykal", "Jaxton", "Tatym", "Jaykub", "Lyame", "Tyden", "Rayden", etc.
