From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Savannah yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Savannah has fallen 55% across the decade, down to 2,490 births and rank 107 from the 7,101 it recorded in 2000, its best placing of 30 having come in 2006. Like Brooklyn it is a place-name with a tightly bounded life — 189,552 births, overwhelmingly concentrated between 1990 and 2010 despite the name being recorded from 1880. The single listed bearer is spelled differently from the name itself, Savanna Samson, born 1967, which makes the file effectively empty. Southern place-names had a strong run through the nineties and have receded together since; what remains is a name that reads as distinctly of that period, which is the recurring difficulty with choosing any of them now.
