401 to 500 Most Popular Boy Baby Names by Pronunciation in the US 1961 - Combined Name Rankings

About Distortion Index

The Distortion Index shows how much the ranking might be skewed by alternative spellings of the same pronunciation. A higher index (closer to 1.0) means the main name represents a smaller portion of the total, indicating the ranking could be misleading. A lower index (closer to 0.0) means the main name dominates, making the ranking more accurate.

Low Distortion (0.07): Jayden (1,000) + Zayden (50) + Jaden (30) = Main name dominates
High Distortion (0.91): Jayden (100) + Zayden (800) + Jaden (200) = Alternative spellings dominate
Distortion Index Color Guide:
0.0-0.29 Low Distortion (Green) - Main name dominates
0.3-0.69 Medium Distortion (Orange) - Moderate alternative spellings
0.7-1.0 High Distortion (Red) - Alternative spellings dominate
Rank Adjustment Explanation:

Adjusted Rank: The primary rank shown reflects the combined count of all similar pronunciation names, providing a more accurate representation of the name's true popularity. Original Rank: The rank in parentheses shows the original ranking based on the main name only, before grouping similar pronunciations.

Rank Change Indicators:
