Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's name has clearly lost its luster among the parents of newborns.<\/p>
According to BabyCenter<\/em>'s review of the data<\/a> the name \"Elon\" has cratered in popularity over the last year, dropping from 120 babies per million in 2021 to just 90 babies per million, falling in the popularity rankings by 466 spots.<\/p> The name had seen a meteoric rise over the last seven or so years, but is currently falling out of favor big time, plummeting back down to 2019 levels.<\/p> The read?
