How popular is your name?
« on: 27 April 2012, 18:52:56 »
The Daily Telegraph have included an interactive display for christian name registrations from 1996 to 2010, which is quite interesting. Type in your name and see how popular it is:

Over the 15 years where my name is unusual only 91 babies have been given the name an average of six babies a year. That's why I like my name as it's unusual. :y :y :y

153 since 1996. 4 in 2009......10 in 2010. I don't think it's accurate.

255 Geoffreys 96-2010

It's an exclusive club. But seriously I thought there'd be more than that.

Unsurprisingly there are thousands more Mohammeds than 'John' for example.
