Is Bran in 6th next year, or are you in a funky cut off date place? 6th grade next year. Almost wish it was 5th again. COVID, man. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the number of boys named Maverick born in the USA according to SSA for the years 1984-1997: 1984: 6 1985: 16 1986: 19 1987: 44 1988: 48 1989: 54 1990: 75 1991: 88 1992: 76 1993: 101 1994: 128 1995: 148 1996: 167 1997: 189 So it looks to me like "Top Gun" did have an effect. It seems to have started the name on its rise. The Mel Gibson "Maverick" film in 1994 coincided with the name getting into the top 1000 list, but may not have been as big a factor as I originally thought. Part of me wonders what the 2008 Presidential election did to the name in the US (cue Sarah Palin: Maverick. Maverick. Doing Maverick(y) stuff. Part of me just assumes the popularity of the name must have taken a nosedive '09 onward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Well, Maverick actually did take a small hit in 2009 (though not enough to be called a "nosedive".) But it was back to increasing swiftly two years later: https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/babyname.cgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMC Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I mean, "maverick" was McCain's nickname, not Palin's. Mark Salter - McCain's CoS, speechwriter, and co-author - dubbed him it in the late 90s and it was popularized during his 2000 presidential campaign. Palin adopted it sure as his running mate, but most at the time would associate it with McCain first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not intentional or anything. Just the very first thing that came to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
