A friend linked the other day to the Baby Name Wizard. I just got a chance to play around with it and I like it. Type in a name or part of a name in the top left and the graph shows you the prevalence of that name. Segment by boy or girl names if you like. Then run your mouse over the graph to see the trends of name popularity over time. Very cool.
My name, James, seems to have been very popular over time. In the 1940s and 1950s it was #1. But in 2004 it’s down to #17.
PS: No mom, this doesn’t mean anything.
