How Popular is Your First Name?

Interesting. So I guess some babies are actually named bob--well they were anyway as it looks like that practice has fallen by the wayside. My real name--Robert--seems to have stayed pretty consistent.
 
Hmm... very popular in the 1960s, in decline in the 1970s (when I was born), and going downhill rapidly ever since. 😱

I take it this is American though, so it won't accurately reflect name trends on this side of the Atlantic?
 
Mine was 22nd in the 1980's and 36th when I was born and it's been on quite the decline since. However if you believe certain historic works my name was ranked #1 very early on. 😉

Adam, the creation story is not a historical work 😉
 
I get the feeling my mother was into following trends... Back in 1960 my first name was #2 (but has dropped to #12 today), and my middle name was #38 (and is #10 today). So while a little too common for my tastes, at least it seems to have maintained it's popularity.

My sister's name went from a high of #21 when she was born (1970) to #436 currently, and my wife's went from a high of #24 when she was born (also about 1970) to no longer being in the top 1000. 😱
 
I peaked at 157 and am now in the mid-700s; the wife peaked at 15 and is no longer on the list; the kid peaked at 917 and is no longer on the list (a variation did manage to reach 589)
