Adriana Adron

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Who was ahead

Of the 122 years in which either name was published, Adriana for 99 years and Adron for 23 years. The lead changed hands 12 times.

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Half of the Adrons alive today are over 45; half the Adrianas are over 24. That is 21 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
