Babies given each name, 1880–2025
Solange Solon
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 132 years in which either name was published, Solon for 74 years and Solange for 58 years. The lead changed hands 11 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.
Which name is older
Half of the Solons alive today are over 32; half the Solanges are over 17. That is 15 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.
