Baby names - how popular is yours?

[debecca]

I really like this link:

http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html

If you type in any name, it gives you the popularity by decade of that name as a graph, showing peaks and troughs, and you can highlight areas to see exact information.

My baby's name, Constance, peaks at 107 in the 1940s but has since dropped right out of the top 1000

Ah well, I've never gone with the crowd!

Only downside seems to be that it only goes as far as 2003 so won't show up the very recent trends...

[Sherlock]

The girls name we picked is in the top sort of 200 odd, but the boys name hasn't ranked anywhere near the top 1000 for decades. If ever. In fact I hardly come across it anywhere now.

Leland, a 2-syllable boy's name of Anglo-Saxon origin, means: Of the meadow land.

leland topped the chart in the 1920's but dropped since , but seems to be making a come back and was ranked 342 in 2006 .

odd that nearly everyone we speak to has never herd of it lol

anjali ranked 961 in 2005 , not ranked in top 1000 in 2006 .

it may be a western site but your babe will be registered in uk so will show up on names lists like this
