When I was born- #170 (1990's)
Now- #2! (Isabella)

I remember about 7-10 years ago I could never find keychains with my name on it...now they're literally all sold out! 😀
 
My first name (Dustin) was apparently really popular in the late seventies, but now it's only like 200 out of every million babies.
 
In the 1880's mine was 2, 1990's it was 18, and now for 2007 it was 8.

William would explain the popularity in the 1880's I guess.
 
My name is no where to be found 😱

But i like having a unique name.

But i remember i used to be little, i got mad because i could never find my name in those mini toy license plates, or bracelets 😛

LOL. tell me about it. They never had Julius, but now I love the name. I know when someone says it in a crowd, they are talking to me.
 
Rare, very rare. It's a nickname for "bear" in our language. In fact, it's so rare name, that once I heard someone yelling my name in a market and I went and asked her (she was some women in early 30's) that where may I know her, and she was like "uhm, I was actually calling my son". There's one great benefit, and that's people remembering me after first meeting. 😉
 
This is great! Me and my wife are expecting twins and we are wanting some fairly original names, so I'll have to show this off to her.
 
I'm 28th!
I never knew that Gabriel was becoming such a popular name. Throughout my whole life I've only met a handful of Gabriel's.
 
My name peaked in popularity about 40 years ago (at 14), and has seen a pretty sharp decline ever since, flattening out in recent years. Currently it's ranked in the 80s.

...That's fine with me; I like my name but there's too many Erics in this world already. 😛
 
Not in the top 1000 when I was born. #635 in 2007.

The first string of data starts in 1980.
