Baby Name Voyager.
God knows where they get their information, but find out how your name ranks amongst all baby names across the years. Putting in the names of my closest relatives, I find that their names were popular mostly when those people were born.
Except for Charles, which was evidently way out of fashion even in the ancient era of the 1950s, and becoming less fashionable by the minute. Although Chuck had some popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, probably due to Chuck Connors of television's The Rifleman fame. Or maybe Chuck Norris. Nobody seems to name their kid after Chuck E. Cheese, which I guess is a good thing.

I'm disappointed that Michael is no longer the #1 boys name.
W00t! Enrique is gaining in popularity every year. Maybe by the time I'm 80 it'll be in such popular usage that other might start pronouncing it correctly.
- Enrique
Holy smoke! It's Enrique! That's pronounced "En-reek," right? :P
That database/chart is really messed up. For one, the graph numbers don't match the mouse-over tally. They actually appear to be reversed; if the graph says over 1,000, the mouse-over gives a very low number. More importantly, though, they list no babies being born with the name of Hayden in the 70s. Uh...hello?
So Hayden, were you hatched or was it some kind of zombie reanimation thing? Don't think they had clones then, unless we're talking alien technology.
That would certainly fit with what I suspect is Hayden's REAL occupation; re-animating the dead.
So my full name was last popular in 1910... But good news the short name everybody calls me was popular in 1880.
However Bookworms full name was never popular... never ?!?
Funny, my daughters name, Alyssa, starts spiking mid-80s, surely a result of Alyssa Milano on Who's the Boss.
