Before the names

A name this long is a deliberate choice and behaves like one. It gives a formal register on paper, at least two natural short forms in the kitchen, and it needs a surname that will not fight it for airtime.

These are the four-syllable names the latest records actually show, in today's rank order.

I

Girl names

II

Boy names

Every rank and count here is published by the US Social Security Administration and refreshed each year when the new figures land. The method is stated at the top of this page.
