What's in a Name?
The Baby Name Voyager has got to be one of the coolest ways to view statistics that I have ever seen. You type in a name and the site charts the popularity of that name throughout the decades of the last century by using data from the Social Security Administration. Type in a root and you see all the different forms of the name. I find this endlessly fascinating and could spend a lot of time typing in the names of everyone I've ever known.
My name was ranked 580 for girls in the 60s, but by the 90s was ranked 28. I am obviously a trend setter. How does your name rank?
