Website?

[indigo284.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know of any website that will tell you the top names for the year you were born? I'm just wondering where my name ranked way back when...

Thanks in advance!! :)


EDIT: ANSWERED!!

So to switch it up a bit, where did your name rank the year you were born??

http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

Mine was 85th...
When my brother was born, his name ranked 28th and when my sister was born, hers ranked 3rd...

ETA: Just wanted to add that I was born in 1984, my brother in 1986 and my sister in 1988...

Thanks! :)

... And I just looked at your profile and realized that you're Canadian. I haven't been able to find any list of popular Canadian baby names earlier than 2003, though American and Canadian naming trends do tend to mirror each other a bit. You could try the US Social Security site and get an approximation of how popular your name was. :/

Oh no problem, they are usually very close with just a few numbers off! This works just fine for me! :)

My name is shannon and it was ranked 25th in 1979.

[shanniedotnet.livejournal.com]

oddly, my sister Kelly was ranked 25th as well in 1982

[suthnoli.livejournal.com]

323rd!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_x_blackroses_x/]

Mine ranked 23rd (Michelle in 1987).

My brothers were 252nd (Frederick in 1990) and 12th (Joseph in 1993)! What a difference...

SASHA! *ADGTH fangirls for a second there*

My name's ranked 609 for 1989.

Haha, awesome! -cyber high five-

I wish my name didn't rank so high..:p Had my parents gone and named me Theodora after my great-grandmother like they might have, it'd be another story. I'd prefer that though. I could go by Dory.

my name is Aubrey and it was 416th in 1981 when I was born.
My brother's name is Dylan and it was 188th in 1985 when he was born.

Krystal

*sigh* 61 for my spelling and...25 for the "normal" spelling.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I'm not even ranked. :(

[indigo284.livejournal.com]

What's your name and when were you born?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Tamsin, and 1992.

[indigo284.livejournal.com]

I like it! I swear I heard that name somewhere before but I can't remember where... TV or something probably...

At least you didn't have to worry about having 3 or 4 other people in your class with your name!

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

That's very true!

It's probably be very irritating to have to have your last name's first initial always apart of your name. "Is Sarah .F. here today?" Ugg. I can only imagine.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

It'd*

16th most popular the year I was born. Which is odd because I tend not to run into many Angelas.

[jamie-marie.livejournal.com]

My name (Jamie) was ranked 31st in 1984.

My husband's name (Brian) was ranked 14th in 1982.

Celestia

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I am not ranked in the top 1000 for the last 25 years. Celeste (a similar name) was ranked 437th the year I was born- 1985.

By comparison my brother born in 1988 had the 2nd most popular name (Christopher).

[kidalicious.livejournal.com]

584th for Celia.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

Kristy was #145 in 1985.
My sister's name [Katie] was 54 in 1991.
My fiance's name [Dustin] was 41 in 1984.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sugarlips/]

Vanessa was 44 in 1987

[stormimay.livejournal.com]

Number 6 in 1980. My parents swear they'd never met or heard of another Heather before they named me that. You really have to stay on top of things to avoid the name trends...

[holly-megan.livejournal.com]

Holly was #56 in 1985. Which is funny because my parents thought it was so uncommon then...

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I totally see all of the little Arwens, Aidens, and Graces running around now saying the same thing in 20 years.

[ouronlylight.livejournal.com]

I was #432 in 1989.

[sonneta.livejournal.com]

Mine (Elizabeth)- 8th in 1982
Adam (brother)- 24th in 1986
Matthew (brother)- 3rd in 1988

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

(me) Jennifer - #1 in 1974
(my sister) Sarah - #8 in 1978

My sister, fortunately, goes by the nn Sally. So while she also got a too-common name, it hasn't been a problem for her the way it has for me.

[trivher.livejournal.com]

Mine was 974. My brother's was 31. My husband's was 4.

What are your names?

My name, Meredith, peaked in 1980 at 140.


FWIW,

My husband-- Albert; 143 in 1980. Aw, that's cute! Our names were similar in rank.
My brothers:
Jeremy; 18 in 1978, peaked the year before.
Darrell; 147 in 1975


For fun and cause I'm bored
Darrell's fiancee: Sandy; 289 in 1980 (Sandra; 80.. dunno if that's her name)
Albert(Ted)'s sister: Amanda; 3 in 1982. Peaked in 1980 at 2, would have been my husband's name that year if he'd been a girl.
Amanda's fiance: Frank; 86 in 83. Goes by Reeve, not in the top 1000.

Whee.

[indigo284.livejournal.com]

My name's Melanie (85th in 1984), my brother is Jeremy (28th in 1986)and my sister is Amanda (3rd in 1988).

I like that mine was the least popular though, I never had to deal with anyone in my class with the same name...

My bf James was 5th in 1980.

His two sons both had names in the top 3 the year they were born... Jacob and Joshua...

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

There was one other girl that had my name at my school, but.. there were so few of us that we were the two Meredith's. We were in the same grade-- Meredith B. and Meredith D. They never put us in the same class.

Funny to see Jeremy dropped 10 rankings in almost 10 years.

[smileygoldfish.livejournal.com]

Mine was #4 in 1982. No wonder there were a million Sarah's everywhere I went.

My brothers:
1979: Matthew #6
1979: Jeffery #24
1985: Russell #110
1988: Steven #24
My parents weren't the most creative in the world. But oh well.

My husband: 1982: Nathan #75

[asinfulstrange.livejournal.com]

1986: Jessica #1

though I spell mine different
