My name was - dadadada - number ONE in 1962, the year I was born. My parents were decidely followers of pop culture and, having the name Lisa along with a million others possibly shaped my disdain for pop culture. It sounds like a good excuse at least.

Maybe it return as one of the chic "old" names again. Now, it's at some really low spot.


And, Erika.......I mean Erica......I'm not crazy, am I?

Carlie was ranked 573 in 2003. Interestingly, it doesn't even figure in the seventies, when I was born. Caroline (my real name) has a much more comprehensive history:)

Cool! My name peaked in the 70's and 80's. And was nearly gone from the name sphere between the 40's and 50's. And is now very much on the decline. Keep my name alive, mothers and fathers!

My name peaked in the early 60's.

EH, we know several young Audras....your name will live ON!!!

My name.....no big surprise here.

First peak for Claire was in the 1920's......ranked 158th then, the lowest valley? When I was born in the 1970s. It was ranked 462 the year I was born.....thanks, Mom! What mortified me growing up (Oh, to be named Jennifer or Sarah!) has now turned into a blessing....never have to say my last name when I call people.....and I'm pretty much the only Claire that anyone knows at my age.

BUT......it was off the charts skyrocketing in 2003, and ranked 140 in the 90's and is getting more popular. In Chloe's preschool alone, there are THREE Claires!!! I hate it!! One little girl has the same last name as me....except off by one letter. :rolleyes: Very confusing. I hear parents yelling at Claires all over town....and I never fail to turn my head. Ugh!! How did all those Sarahs and Jennifers deal with it!!! Ack!

No worries. If we had another daughter (Which we won't. I'd cut off my business with a dull knife before I'd procreate again.) I would want her to be named Audra. I cannot think of a more beautiful name.

My name peaked at #8 in the 70's, the decade I was born. It was not in the top 1000 in the 1930's which is when my maternal cousin who my parents stole my entire name from was born.

My name peaked at 258 in the 1950s and isn't on the chart now. In the 70s (the decade I was born) it was 373. My middle name peaked in the 60s and isn't on the chart now.

I'm just surprised my name "Teena" even existed! I've only met one other Teena in my whole life. Who would have thought the name was popular in the 50's? It's completely off the map after 70. No wonder there's no Teena's! Oh well I'm an original!
