what's in a name?

Becca linked to the NameVoyager which tracks baby names and how often they're used.

I never realized Sarah is such a popular name -- it was ranked #5 in the 1980s, #4 in the 1990s. #18 in the 1970s which is where I fall. Jennifer was #1 in the 70s, so that explains why I know so many of them! Betty, my mom, was popular in the 1940s. Crispin, my dad, isn't even on the list. David, Brian, and Katie (Katherine), my siblings, are all pretty high as expected.

My favorite thing about the site, though, is the interface. It's fun to type in different names just to see the graph bars slide up and down.
