Editor’s take on Natalie

The rank's own best, #13, came two years after the count's high point: 10,950 births in 2006, then that rank peak in 2008 — a genuine near-top-ten run, rare company for a name now sitting well outside this batch's top 50.

3,114 births and #73 is where 2024 lands, a 56% pullback since then, one of the steeper declines in this batch.

Natalie Portman and Natalie Wood anchor the name across two very different eras of Hollywood, six decades apart.
