counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Nylo went to 31 boys in 2025, but Nilo is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 60, which makes it the 868th most-given boys’ name of the year — 2,715 places above the chart.

About 1 boy in 28,468 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 55,099 for Nylo 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 Jabree test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Nylo's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Jabree climbed just as high around 1992, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Jabree's path sketches the road Nylo is walking now.
