The 2024 Boys' Names grouped by spelling is up! Here's the link.
Names ending in -ir and -aire are popular these days, but it's difficult to figure out which ones are pronounced like "eer" and which ones are "air." For example, the name that started it all: Zaire, is sometimes pronounced /zy AIR/ and sometimes /zy EER/. Some are obvious, like Jayeer, but others are a little more obscure, like Jair as in Brazil's former president Bolsonaro. We find that spelled Jaire, Jyaire, Jiayir etc. Every year a new name provides some complications!
Here's the top 150:
