You can enter your name (or anyone else's) and the year you were born and it will tell you where it ranked on that year's list of popular baby names and also show you what name is equally popular today. |
I entered my name as per my birth certificate spelling and it couldn't find any matches.
I entered the more common English equivalent of my name and it is 415th. Today, my name would be Ellis. In 1980, it would be Horace and in 1970 it would be Rodrigo.
I had to laugh, because in 1910, my name would be Manley. I actually know someone that named one of his sons Manley, but he meant it as a joke. He named his first "Charles" which means "manly", so for the 2nd one, he just went for it directly.
Anyway, interesting query.
