Connor vs Consuela

Babies given each name, 1880–2025

Connor Consuela

Each line is every baby given the name that year, girls and boys added together — the only count that means the same thing for both names. A line breaks where the name fell below five babies in a year — the point at which the SSA stops publishing it — rather than being drawn through a figure nobody published. A single published year in a gap shows as a dot.

Who was ahead

Of the 113 years in which either name was published, Consuela for 58 years and Connor for 55 years. The lead changed hands 13 times.

• 1916–1977 Consuela ahead, apart from 3 short spells
• 1978–2025 Connor ahead

9 shorter spells of a year or two are folded into the spans above rather than listed separately.

Side by side

A rank is a position within one sex’s list for one year, so the two rank rows are not subtracted from one another and the winning column is not marked on them. The living figure is a life-table estimate, not a count.

Which name is older

Half of the Consuelas alive today are over 50; half the Connors are over 19. That is 31 years between them: two names in use at the same time, worn by two different generations.

Where each one is strongest

• Connor New Hampshire (2.6×), Alaska (2.3×), Nevada (2.0×)
• Consuela Georgia (3.8×), Texas (2.9×), Florida (2.6×)

How much commoner the name is in that state than it is nationally, from births recorded since 1910.

Both names abroad

Countries whose statistics office publishes both names, so the comparison can be made somewhere other than the United States.

Every spelling a country files separately is added together, over whatever years that country publishes — which is not the same range in any two of them, so read the columns against each other and not the rows.
