OMG, it's mesmerizing.

Funky! I typed in ST and Stephanie was already one of the prominent choices. It ranked #9 in the 1970's - there's a surprise.

My name was very popular in the 1980s and is becoming increasingly unpopular. Awesome! :^D

That thing's possibly the best use of code I've seen in years!

That is awesome! Liana didn't rank in the 70s, I was in the 800s in and 80s and 90s and I'm done to the 700s in 2003.

I looked up my great aunts' names for fun. Bertha was pretty popular at the turn of the century, but boy did it nosedive by the end! Daisy was popular, then unpopular, and now it's gaining in popularity again.

Very cool.

My great aunts had some pretty funky names, too. Cora, Esta, Vera, Bertha, Kitty, Dolly, Winona, Erva.

I could look at that thing all day.

My name is getting steadily more and more popular. Which is scary. But it's still far, FAR less popular than Kayla, which means I still have a lifetime of mispronounciation to look forward to.
