Neat article about baby names

It compares the top names from 1911 and 2011, I'm bored and I thought it was neat.

    I have never met a child named William. I had a friend in high school named William but that is the only person I have ever met irl with that name.

    I know 7 Wiliams under the age of 5...it is really popular here (then I also know a bunch of kids named Liam - not sure if any of them are actually named William and just use Liam as a nickname...) We actually almost named DS1 William, but about a week before he was born I discovered that DH was planning on calling him "Willy", so I changed it. :)

    We had a no Willy rule as well as a no Bill or Billy rule. I was planning on calling him Liam for short, but I never really do, it just feels weird saying. I'm not around many kids, so that could be part of why I'm not aware of many with the name. However, I know about 10 Caden's or different versions of the spelling.

    I know a few grown up Williams who don't go by William, but rather thier middle name!

    But I know a bunch of baby Liams, which is short for William.  So, maybe?

    I know a seven-year-old William.

    And I'm thrilled that my Margaret Louise would have been super popular in 1911.  Her buddy Florence, too!

    I saw that article, too. I actually like a lot of the 1911 boy's names better than the 2011 names. Haha!

    I don't know any William's besides adults.

    For us we know a few Lily's but no other Lillian's (so far).

    I kind of like the female 1911 names better than the 2011 ones. 

    I thought my LO's name would be on the 1911 list, but I guess her name started falling in popularity by 1880.

    I like a lot of older sounding names. I like a name that will grow with the kid through adulthood.
