Tip
Where Tip comes from
Tip hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.
Along the way
- 1887Debut at its peak, #921#921 among boys with 5 babies — the first year it was published, and still its best.
- 1888The fadeThe first year with half the peak's births.
In the dictionary
No dictionary entry for this spelling — which is its own kind of rare.
Namesakes
No widely known Tip turns up in the encyclopedias yet — the name is still all theirs to make famous.
