triskellianI'm fascinated by names, as you probably know. So I was pleased to see that Slashdot has an article about names, which, amongst other things, links to this page, which lets you see how the popularity of your name has changed over time. Mine, unsurprisingly, is in the top ten for every set of data I looked at.
There are some odd and some surprising names in the most popular list for 2001, including, for example, Destiny, at 22nd most popular name for a girl, and Isaiah at number 45 for boys.
Tell me about the rise and fall of your name...
