Title: How popular is your name?
Post by: Rods2 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.

Flossie!

Dentists everyone of them.

But here's a new game for you: if I spell my name 'correctly' with an 'h', the popularity has halved.

If I spell it 'Nicolas', it's doubled!

Isn't illiteracy wonderful?

I think you mean "Int illtracy wunderful", Nick.. ;D

My name has been steadily declining in popularity since the graph starts; although there are a lot more of me than I expected! Still close to 1000 a year, if memory serves.

Whatever you've heard, I've never met 'ill Tracey' in my life.
Any pictures you've seen must have been photoshopped. If that's a word, which I doubt.
