How to read this list
Comeback names often combine renewed cultural interest with a familiar sound, but this page reports only the measured ranking change. Rankings compare names within the same SSA sex category and year. Spelling variants remain separate names, and a large movement from a low rank may represent fewer births than a small movement near the top.
