After Hurricane Helene left a path of destruction from Florida through North Carolina in 2024 you may not expect to see a lot of little Helene's in kindergarten rosters 6 years from now. But what names are emerging, and why? Will popular songs or singers be influencing name choices? If so, will lots of little Taylors be on our hypothetical kindergarten roster 6 years in the future? What influences baby names and what has changed over the decades is the focus of today's episode of Stats and Stories #podcast with guest Christopher Dalla Riva. A link to his #Significance article "Meet my baby daughter, Cardeigh Cobain" also can be found on the website below. (Just in time for your holiday travels ... next Thursday's episode will feature a dip into the Stats+Stories archive featuring a conversation with Linda Young on the episode "Thankful For A Bountiful Harvest - How Bountiful Was It And Who Produced It?")
