About 1 girl in 11,399 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 37,378 for Navani 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

What happens to a name after it peaks
The Amarilis test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Navani's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Amarilis climbed just as high around 1985, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Amarilis's path sketches the road Navani is walking now.
