In what year was your first name most popular? What percentage of people had it? I just killed an hour playing with this thing.

  • "Francis" and "Albert" will make a comeback someday, baby.
  • Psst ... double post ...
  • Damn it I did a look up using "name" and "rank" but didn't see anything.
  • Dude most cool people saw this before it even got on memepool.
  • I wish I was cool.
  • You, like me, are too old to be cool.
  • Interestingly enough, the name "Doublepost" really takes off in 2002.
  • Outside of Norway and maybe Sweden, I don't think my name has ever been popular.
  • I may be incredibly uncool, but I'm really curious if my name (Renee) was every popular at any point. My best guess says no, as I've only met maybe 10 in my 34 years. I can't get the bloody site to work though. My backspace key does absolutely nothing.
  • Looks like I've been vindicated. It seems that Damien was popular before The Omen and didn't lose any popularity afterwards. Fie upon all you who look for birthmarks on my scalp.
  • There is more Miltons than Mileses. That is very wrong. I mean sure I'm named after an antiquated system of measurement but come on, Milton? zombiebunny-It looks like Renee was #74 in the 60s and has dropped to #457 in 03.
  • LOL...wow. #457. Thanks Pez!
  • Meh, it doesn't know my name.
  • You, like me, are too old to be cool. NO...NO...don't say that! ah, tracicle, you've just broken my heart. I thought that 'cool' was not only from my generation, but forever the mark of it. Now I'm crushed as I seek out a new descriptor. I was reassured that my name was fourth for the decade I was born. I knew my mother wasn't very original.
  • Maybe I should say "Too young to be cool". :)
  • I thought that 'cool' was not only from my generation, but forever the mark of it. That's right, let the little dicks make their own word up.
  • . Thanks, tracicle, I feel much more self-assured now. Wolof, I hear all sorts of new expressions, but they never seem to have the same staying power that 'cool' has had. So many common day expressions have survived from back then. I remember my confusion and horror when I first started hearing 'rip it off'. It was at first a person2person act that has now become globalised. whodathunkit?
