I see. My own understanding of "suddenly" was more sudden...I don't want to spam this forum with links to my own website, but I think my hitparade comparison feature is very handy here and right on-topic - it shows that between 2005 and 2013 the rise of Liam is indeed noteworthy. However, there are quite a number of other names like Eli and Oliver that rose 100 or more places in the same time:
