counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Lorraina went to 10 girls in 2025, but Loraina is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 18, which makes it the 942nd most-given girls’ name of the year — 8,515 places above the chart.

  • Lorraina10
  • Loraina8

About 1 girl in 89,293 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 160,727 for Lorraina itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Maryjayne test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Lorraina's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Maryjayne climbed just as high around 1922, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Maryjayne's path sketches the road Lorraina is walking now.
