Interesting trivia: The one-hit wonders of the last decade had a Lyn (Raven, 2018) and a Lynn (Tara, 2019) as well as a Ren (Alexis, 2018) and a Renn (Crystal, 2012).

I like the list. Lauren and Cris are probably my top choices, as well as Ebonee Davis, if you can consider her a one hit wonder.

Yeah, I'd say Ebonee's a one-hit wonder. She had her model search in 2016 but wasn't a rookie until 2018 (when she was notably swimsuitless).

I'd also count Sailor Brinkley Cook as a OHW, since SI didn't consider her a rookie until her second and last appearance.

Anyway, weird rules I have to invent for this blog.
