Saw this little generator thing on Facebook - it uses the Social Security name rankings list to determine what your name would be if you were born in 2015, along with every decade since 1890. The really interesting thing for me was that my 2015 name was Hazel, which was my dad's mom's name. I was named for her, but they gave me her middle name as my middle name since apparently she hated her first name. I think it's super weird/awesome that, based strictly on popularity, my 2015 name is hers anyway!
Do any of you like the names that this gave you better than your own? I ended up liking my actual name best!
Re: Just for fun!
I'd be Hayden today. More interested in the fact that I'd be Gussie in the 20's though
Other than that I'm not fond of the rest until it begins to get old school - 50s, Patricia. 30s, Betty. 20s, Dorothy. Strangely, Helen was the name for both the 1910s and 1900s
2015: Leyla (I like it!)
00s: Winter
90s: Charissa
80s: Rosario
70s: Justina
60s: Lonnie
50s: Emilia
40s: Verona
30s: Santina
20s: Earlean (this is the winner haha)
10s: Elfrieda
00s: Pearly
1890s: Everlena
Some really interesting ones in there. I definitely like Caitlyn the best but I like Leyla a lot!
And another decade was Ada, which I really love and is near the top of our list for this LO! .....ya, we haven't picked yet.
