counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Valory went to 10 girls in 2025, but Vallory is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 17, which makes it the 943rd most-given girls’ name of the year — 8,514 places above the chart.

  • Valory10
  • Vallory7

About 1 girl in 94,545 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 160,727 for Valory 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 Mauricia test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Valory's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Mauricia climbed just as high around 1917, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Mauricia's path sketches the road Valory is walking now.
