Is Yours On The List? The MOST UTAH Names Ever!

If you hear these names, your ears might perk up: YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO BE FROM UTAH!

These are the MOST UTAH names ever!

GIRLS:

1. Afton
Peak Popularity Year: 1916
How Unique: 60x more popular in Utah than any other state.

My cousins middle name is Afton, but besides that... I've NEVER met an Afton before! Granted, it was most popular 107 years ago, it's not THAT surprising that I haven't met many Aftons!

2. McKell
Peak Popularity Year: 1991
How Unique: 131x more popular in Utah than any other state.

This one is especially hilarious because I KNOW A MCKELL BORN IN 1991! There's a million different spellings but they all count. McKell, Mikelle, Mickelle.

3. McCall
Peak Popularity Year: 1994
How Unique: 105x more popular in Utah than any other state.

Following close on the heals of McKell is McCall! For the moms that like McKell but wanted to be a little more UNIQUE. I can't tell you how many McCalls I know! The list is LONG!

4. Taylee
Peak Popularity Year: 2012
How Unique: 86x more popular in Utah than any other state.

This FEELS very Utah. I know a handful of young girls named Taylee,  but NONE my age. They're all under 10, which makes sense. Peak popularity was 11 years ago.

BOYS:

1. Dallin
Peak Popularity Year: 1997
How Unique: 67x more popular in Utah than any other state.

Yes, yes, and more yes! I know SO MANY Dallins, Dallens, Dalyns!

2. McKay
Peak Popularity Year: 1995
How Unique: 98x more popular in Utah than any other state.

McKay follows ONE YEAR after McCall, and 4 years after McKell. Let me tell you... The 90's had TONS of kids running around here with totally similar names.

3. Bridger
Peak Popularity Year: 2009
How Unique: 55x more popular in Utah than any other state.

This name never made sense to me. Bridger? Like someone that... Builds bridges? With that said... I definitely know at least 5 Bridgers.

4. Ammon
Peak Popularity Year: 2001
How Unique: 67x more popular in Utah than any other state.

I'm really surprised Ammon was popular only 22 years ago. I would've thought this was most popular like 40 years ago! If someone told me their name was Ammon I would AUTOMATICALLY assume they come from an extremely religious family.
