Thanks, you ruined the surprise..

:D

[Sim Koning]

my name is not even in the top 1000 through all of last century =(

[Chang Style Novice]

That's a good thing, though. Williams and Marys are a dime a dozen - but how many Hrothgars or Boadiccas do you know? Helps you to stand out.

[gwa sow]

ok Edward. i'm ranked #8,......if this was 1910.

[kung fu muppet]

Anthony - i ranked 10 in 2003:D

[Fu-Pow]

The Amazing Ragu prophesizes that.......

Fu-Pow will be the number one boys name in 2005.

Oh, it took me a minute to realize that the little pink/red line on top of the huge blue filled curve was for female names. I guess with some names that are more commonly used for both males and females, the curves will be more equal. Anyway, my given name peaked in the 1940s, rank 1 then. By the time I was born, it had dropped to rank 5, and most recently, the rank in 2003 was 18. So I guess there will be fewer people with my first name as time goes on, according to these trends. I tried some more names within my family and it's kind of funny -- most of them had peaked a bit before we were given them, except for one aunt, it seems, she was about peak. My sister's children have peak names or at least on the rising (left) side of the curve. Hmm. I may play around with this some more. :)
