Fascinating Internet Site of the Week

Want to know how popular your name has been, decade by decade? This is the site for you. You could spend a lot of time goofing around with this one.

To get you started, let's see some interesting examples. Check out the curves for "Michael" or "Kelly." Very predictable, much like their parents. Now try "Emma" and "George." Vive le difference, no?

So, what you're saying is, we're extremely trendy and you are stuck in the past? Okay, so George isn't so trendy. And I'll have the world know that I chose the name Emma looooong before Ross and Rachael made it trendy!

Emma surprised me. Names that rebound like that are really rare.
