  1. Nice arithmetic, coolteamblt! And boy howdy, does that make it #1. The non-amalgamated Most Popular Boy Name for 2006 – Jacob – was only bestowed on 1.1327% of boys born that year. Thanks for the info!

  2. Hey Verity,

    I wanted to give you more detailed numbers on the Aidan craze. I counted them up about a month ago.

    Aiden, Aidan, Ayden, Aden, Aidyn, Aydin, Aaden- 26,745 boys born, making it number one!

    Jaden, Jayden, Jaiden, Jaydin, Jadon, Jaeden, Jaydon -17,990 boys born, making it 12th in popularity.

    Jayden, Jadyn, Jaden, Jaidyn, Jaiden – 5,033 girls born, making it 53rd.

    Brayden, Braden, Braeden, Braydon, Braiden, Bradyn, and Braedon: 11646 boys born, making it 29th in popularity.

    Caden, Kaden, Kaiden, Kayden, Cayden, Kaeden, Kadin, Caiden – 11,646 boys born, 457 female Kayden’s, 17th for boys, 624th for girls.

    Hayden, Haiden, Haden -6,843 boys born, making it 63rd.

    Hayden -754 girls, making it 416th.

    Zayden, 221 babies, 871st for boys.

    So, if you add up all of these, it makes anything rhyming with Aiden more than number one 63,448 boys and 6,244 girls. That’s 3.7126% of boys born last year!
