My name is very unpopular, never hit the top 10,000 in ANY decade! That's why my parents chose it, I think... all these years go *sigh*

"Karen" ranked 3 in the 60s, 80 when I was born (80s) and 126 in 2003.
Not too too popular for my generation!

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:36pmIt's funny because it lists both Joe and Joseph on that list.
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:38pmIt says mine peaked in the 80s (ranked 3rd in 80s and 90s), but I remember having 3-5 Matts in just about every class, so I know it was popular at least in Texas in the late 60s/early 70s.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:40pmMine was popular in the 1990's. My sister, Emily, was born in the late 80's, before the name was insanely popular. Now, that's one of the top names.

Derric is most popular in the 1980's, the decade I was born. It reached 1,100,000,000 (I think that's right).
I like my name because the spelling is different.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:46pmMine proved to be a whole lot more popular than I thought. It hasn't been out of the top 250 at any point.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

You may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have.
