Which Names are Moving Up—and Falling Down—the Fastest?
The SSA compiles a list of names that have made the biggest moves when compared to their rank the previous year (assuming the name has made the top 500 at least once in the last two years). Some of these jumpers have obvious triggers, while the reasons for other jumps and declines are more open to interpretation. Take a look and see what you think.
