Kyyle23 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) My name is old fashioned, as I figured. Kenneth was in the Top 20 1924 through 1964 (I didn't check every year in between, though). In 1985, when I was born, it had dropped to 47. Now it's at the 135th position. How the hell can Oscar, Cody, COLTON, or Liam be more popular? Also, here's a George Carlin bit on names. Sorry Kyle haha.

Kid Gleason Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) Some of you may be interested in browsing this website. http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi You're not cool unless your name is in the 100's. Huh...my name has become less and less popular as the years go by since I was born. That's not saying much for my personality, is it? I mean, I could very well be the reason for it becoming so un-desirable. When I was born it was the 66th most popular name. Now it ranks at 450. I must REALLY suck.

Middle Buffalo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 05:04 PM) Sometimes it isnt lack of originality on the parents part as much as it is honoring other family members, carrying on a first name in the family, etc. Besides, i have seen some truly horrid "original" names. Im glad my parents didnt mess around and start pasting letters together or combining their own first names. My kids' class roster is full of "original" names or even more "original" spelling of common names. Every year, my wife and I look forward to getting the list and looking at the names on the list. My daughter has a friend named Alexis, but it's spelled Alexyz. X-Y-Z!???? I'm an other as well.

Harry Chappas Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 For the past 100 years my name has been no lower than 31 hitting #1 in 1960 and was in the top 10 from 1937 to 1991 where it has hoovered in the mid to upper teens for the last 17 years.

Chisoxfn Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Mine was pretty darn high the year I was born (1983). Now it is much less popular (guess I give my name a bad reputation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hated having an unusual name when I was younger--but I think it's something you grow into. I feel the same way. When I was younger I hated having an unusual name. Days with substitute teachers were dreaded. As I got older I began to like it though. I was able to go through life being easily associated with only three letters so that helps with people knowing and remembering you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
