Baby names

Bittersweet posted about Secret Future Baby Names. Who knew that Neveah was so popular, or even a name? She also reveals the fantastic timewaster, babynameshub, which has a compare names function.

As you can see on the accompanying bar graph, Both Q (in green) and Smileycue (in orange) have popular names. In fact, our parents were trendsetters, apparently. However, the popularity of each name peaked in elementary school. Apparently, word got out that you don't want kids "like us." It's interesting to see how names like Tyler and Connor have from nonexistent to ubitiquous while names like Merle and Louise have faded away.

Barack hasn't caught fire yet, and it looks like Brittany has had its moment.

(Thanks to Bittersweet for the tip.)
