101 to 200 Most Popular Boy Baby Names by Pronunciation in the US 1936 - 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:

We've developed a revolutionary pronunciation comparison algorithm that intelligently groups baby names with similar sounds and pronunciations. Our sophisticated system automatically corrects common typos and misspellings, ensuring accurate name grouping based on phonetic similarity rather than just spelling.

This cutting-edge algorithm uses advanced phonetic analysis to identify names that sound alike but may have different spellings, providing you with the most comprehensive and accurate baby name rankings by pronunciation. 💡 Understanding the Distortion Index is crucial for interpreting these results accurately. While our algorithm is highly accurate, if you notice any grouping errors, please let us know and we'll promptly resolve them.
