Commenting on the figures, Kushal Tantry, CEO of ourpublicrecords.org, said: “These figures offer a fascinating insight into the attitudes of parents when it comes to naming their children in Georgia.
“Whilst names have become more diverse and personalized over the years, reflecting the changing cultural landscape and individual preferences of parents, traditional naming practices still hold significance for many families.
“Zendaya is a great example of a unique name that has seen its greatest popularity in 2022 thanks to cultural inspiration. Georgina is an older, more traditional name that has also greatly increased in popularity, showing how names never really go extinct and how most names will see fluctuations in popularity over time.”
