You don't need to wait that long. Data from 2025 is already available. Hunter isn't in the top 100, and Trucker and Killer (lol) aren't in the top 1000. Those are two exceptionally weird and unfortunate names.
Mateo aside, the top 20 could have been pulled from 1840. Tradition still reigns, and Victorian-era names for boys are the rule rather than the exception.
Names that end with -er are in general quite rare, though it's true that Archer is in the top 100, and Gunner is somewhere around #500.
