6. Kai +21
7. Luca +20
8. Leo +17
9. Muhammad +16
10. Marcus +15

We’re getting pretty used to seeing these names as the top risers for boys – Braxton, Jaxon and Hudson, with OO-sounding Hugo and Luca making a significant gain after both going down slightly the year before. Kai is another which lost ground last year, but has more than made up for it in 2012. Muhammad is a new addition to the list who has been climbing steadily for over a decade. Darcy and Jesse made their way back to the Top 100 again, while Archer joined it for the first time.
