The Name Game

If you've been given a not so common moniker to herald throughout your life, you might find this interesting.

Name ranking chart by decade.

Its interesting to see how some names are older. My first name apparently was much more popular in the 20s than when I was born (and people are always telling me I live life in the wrong decade......). And for those interested in spelling properly; note the huge gender difference between the "proper" spellings of my first name (I'm always saying its Lore....not Laure, with emphasis on the au sound.....augh).

Banana-fana-fo-fana........

Sweet link. My name is growing in popularity and becoming gender neutral. I was meant for the future.

Looking again, looks like my name (for males) is a dying one, but growing in popularity for females.

Meant for the future? Like 2001 when the space travellers get to the Monolith?

That baby name site is WAY too much fun! My name started gaining popularity in the 60s and peaked out in the mid-70s, when I was born! :) It's shot straight down since the 80s though....
