Weird -- Sara (sans H) has always been more popular than Sarah. I would have bet money it was the other way around.
Yeah, Amy? Totally unique. Noone named "Amy" at all in my day.
I feel your pain. Although we seem to be pretty unpopular now.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

I can't get the baby name thingie to load on my computer. Will someone tell me what it says for "Jillian"?

I know very few Valeries. I like it that way.

Hey. New board.

Not in top 1000 until the 70s, then 439. 113 in the 80s, 157 in the 90s, 137 in 2003

I wonder what prompted other parents to pick that name. I'm pretty sure reading Stranger in a Strange Land and changing the spelling to avoid being called Gilly (with a hard 'g') is not the route most parents took.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Frederick" peaked in the early 1900s (or for all I know, the late 1800s), and has been on a slow decline since then.
Which means I've been retro since birth.

Jillian is quite popular now, and also had a big spike in the late 70s /early 80s.
"Pleiades" is only number one in our hearts.

And yet I've known more Freds than Emilys. It's a kooky world.

"William", however, is in the top 20 throughout their timeline. It's gone from 2 to 11, but still.
