How the projection works
We start from the people alive today with the name, estimated from Social Security records and SSA life tables. Then we assume babies keep getting the name at the same pace as in the last three years (2023 to 2025), and age everyone 30 years using SSA's cohort life tables. The average age of that 2056 population is the number we show.
Fashions change, so read the number as a direction. A name that's falling now will age faster than we project if parents drop it sooner; a name that keeps climbing will stay younger. See names that will age well and names that will sound old by 2056.
