baby names popularity graph

ssstephanie214

Hi,

I saw this on pinterest this morning (from pregnantchicken, love them) and thought it was pretty fun to play around with. you put your baby name in the box above the graph, and it tells you what year it peaked in popularity and when it is expected to recycle again. my own name peaked in 1984 which was NOT a surprise...."Stephanie" has a real 80s ring to it, don't you think

That is fun!  Thanks!

Our girl name last peaked in 1897 LOL.  That makes me feel happy and (stupidly) smug about my name choice

Ha! My girl name peaked in 1908! Boy name peaked in 2013 but is pretty uncommon, so that's cool.

Neither our girl name or DD's name were on the list. Does that mean they never peaked?

i can't answer that for sure, but my girl name wasn't on the list either. i would guess that some names just don't have enough data points for them to generate a prediction.

My girl name "peak" was 0.06%, so pretty low.  Not sure about the ones that don't show up.

This was fun-- thanks for posting! My name peaked in 1986-- thanks mom haha!

My husband and I are both teachers and love traditional names. We wanted names that were old fashioned but not overly used. We went with Evelyn Avis for our daughter, and were SHOCKED by how much the name Evelyn soared in popularity since 2011!

This time I'm not sure exactly what we are going to do. We are pretty set on having a mary double first name if we have another girl (both catholic and want to honor the awesome blessed mother) we are thinking Mary Maeve, Mary Claire (anyone have any awesome double names starting with Mary??)

If boy, we will most likely use a family name. Emmett is one of my favorites along with Claiborne (pronounced clayburn.) Claiborne was my mom's dad who died of a massive heart attack when she was only 15. She always wanted to have a boy to name after him, but had 3 girls. I know it would mean the world to her if we honored his memory. According to her, I'm a lot like him

I loved playing with this.  How fun!

@KTgator... I love Mary Claire.  I know several girls with Mary __ names.   Mary Emma, Mary Miles, Mary Jacqueline, Mary Allison, Mary Anna, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Margaret and the list goes on and on.    

I live in the South and it is very common for children to be named Mary with a Mother's fn, maiden name, grandmother's fn, maiden name, etc...  We love us some double name Mary's.  haha

Thanks ladies! I love getting more Mary double name suggestions! I lOVE Mary Alison (used to babysit a sweet little girl with that name), but hubby and I had a teacher in HS names Alice, so he won't go for it. I love Mary Joesphine, too (my old principal where I teach/ went to school was an awesome, sweet nun named Josephine and she just recently died, but I would not like the nickname Mary Jo. I think Mary Margret is awesome- Adding it to the short list! Oh and Mary Elise, too!

@AeandJb‌ I think it's Marie Claire like the magazine. Oddly enough we were thinking about Mary Kathryn after my great aunt with nickname Mary Kay, and that is a make up brand. The deterring factor there is that my name is Katie, and I don't know If that would sound odd to have mom as Katie and daughter as Mary Kathryn.
