I think, in desperation, boys will have to start poaching on girls' territory (heretofore a big no-no) and start being named Elsie, Destry, and Hepzibah.
Bepzibah! Zepzibah! At least it's not Braden.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Jennifer isn't in the top 100.
Jesus. I'm a redwood.

The youngest Susan I know is 25. The second youngest is me, and I'm 37.

Neither is "William" or "Bill"
Someone hand me my teeth.

Lisa was HOTT!T for '68. But seems to have gone out of favor. Which is fine with me. I don't like it when other people have my name. (Lisas here get a pass of course as do other awesome Lisas.)
My mom didn't actually have a girls name picked out she was so sure I was going to be a boy (Timothy). So they let the nurses pick my name (my dad worked at the hospital at the time so they were friends of his...not just random strange nurses).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

not your mom's socks.
I find it odd that Nevaeh is at #60something and Frances barely registers
someone (country music star-ish person?) noted that Nevaeh is heaven spelled backwards, named their kid such, and it was all over the bible belt after that.
Frances barely registers, I think, because people named such are greatly annoyed at the lack of American ability to spell it any other way than Francis.
I like Maud.

My parents also didn't have a girl's name picked. I was supposed to be a Jason.

When I was in second grade, there were THREE Stephanies in my class of 20 students. Now it's not even top 100

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My name fell out of the top 100 in 1959 and it's been dropping like a rock since.
When I was growing up, every classroom had at least at least two Roberts, two Michaels and two Williams. That meant we had Bob and Robert; Mike and Michael; and Bill and William, with nicknames to spare. I'm not sure what happens when have have a class with multiple Aidens, Jaydens, Bradens and Haydens.
I'm waiting for Clara and Gertrude to come back into favor.
