How popular is your name?

Interesting little sight that gives you a break down on name popularity (in the US). You can type in the name, trying to hunt through the thin lines would be madness. I notice my name was ranked #2 once upon a time.

Why are you looking at baby names? Do you have an announcement?

[ozzy]

Duuuude, thats cool. As a girls name mine was 781 in the '90s and as a boys name it was 418. What can I say, I'm an odd ball. :)

Why are you looking at baby names? Do you have an announcement?

Yes. You know that ban on human cloning? Not as effective as you might think. Mini-me just seems so overdone.

i dont need to look up my name I already know inot many people with it. hehehe

[PrinceofLight2000]

Mine was 44th most popular for my birth year.

[jayanna]

great, it's never heard of mine...I'll just have to define it myslef :)

[Wingnut]

I was just looking at this site the other day for a name a friend was asking about. I didn't check my own though, until now. It was #217 around the time when I was born, which is quite surprising. It's not common at all, and I haven't met that many people with it (or some variation of it). And it's apparently been making a comeback in the last few years.

I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I cant find Dr T on the list!

Mine seemed to hit its peak around 1900 (974th) so it has never really been that popular. I have met a few people with my name but they tend to be a generation older than me.

Hmmm, interesting :) Looks like my name peaked in the 1970's at around #3? Stange how in the 1800's, it was a bit circulated, but almost gone in the 1920's... Wonder what the 20's had against my name? lol. But around my birth year, it was #7. Not bad, I guess.

Mine ranked 13th the year I was born. For 2009 it's 845.

My name ranked 39th in the 1980's.

[Honor]

The closest thing to my name was ranked # 847 in the 1880's, #947 in the 1890's and 0 in the 1900's. I thought my parents were unique, but I guess they were about 100 years out of date.

[LocalFarms]

all to aware my first name was VERY popular the year I was born. Ranked #3 for boys names in the 70s:mellow:

[lizrenowden]

Mine ranked 4th in the 1880s and last year it was 10th - still I don't suppose it will go out of fashion - good steady name like mine :-) .

Still if I had been given the name my father wanted 'Sharon' it would have been somewhere in the 770s now.

I think there are 12 of us family members left in the world with the last name of my dad and with my unusual name, only one of me :)

My dads side historically has small families.
