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.

Posted: 2/11/05 at 4:37pmOddly, Ahab doesn't make the list from any era.

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.
