Here's a cool site. Let it load, then enter a first name - any first name. It will show a graph, charting the changing popularity of that name over the last 100 years. One can see the slow, steady demise of the names Agnes, Betty, and Harry, or the sudden rise of Emma, or how Tiffany peaked in the 80's. See when names such as Sven and Otto became nearly extinct, perhaps to be revived soon with the resurgence of tiki (the subculture, not the name). The names are color coded, so you can see the number of male kids named Jordan versus female kids named Jordan. Vern |
