Popularity by spelling

[ottertails]

I don't know if any of you are interested, but the wonderful creator of namenerds finished the google doc that shows the popularity of boy names by spelling.

2015 US girls 

2015 US boys

The 2015 UK data isn't out yet, but if you all are interested in 2014: 

2014 UK girls 

2014 UK boys

Any thoughts?

I didn't see anything terribly surprising. The Amelia entry bugged me because Amelia and Emilia are not different spellings of the same name. Nor would I pronounce them entirely the same.

First glance - it surprises me that Zoe is so high.

I'm failing to see how we get the sound of Mia out of some of those spellings...

WTAF at 30 people spelling Henry as Henrry.

I'm not. They must all live near me.

I'm just glad this puts my dd's name down in popularity, even with multiple spellings. And that all the spellings are pretty much legit.

It bothers me that Mila and Myla are grouped together. To me they are two different names.
