James' Name on the decline...

Here's a neat java app that shows the popularity of names since 1900.

James sure has taken a beating, but not as bad as Adolph.



Check out sunshine from the sixites and how names starting with "S" have grown in popularity.

Where do you rate?

Jabez?

The fact that your family named you Edith doesn't seem so out there to me now...

Ok, the good news? My name begins with S.

The bad news? Dad's name is Adolf. Yep, with the *&^*&^ "f" and everything.

Even worse, my parents had the nerve or an unfathonable lack of awareness to name their second child after dear old pop.
...He still has playground nightmares....and changed his name as soon as he was legally allowed to do so. I challenge anyone to complain about a worse name!!
