Ahh, well spotted Ronin! Afraid this (very unfortunate) surname has little to do with reputation though..!

Kinda like Jennifer in the 70's and 80's - I must have known 4000 Jen's.
My wife has always wanted to name a daughter after her Great Grandmother, when we found out it she was going to be a girl, she had her mind already made up. We were watching the Friends episode - the birth of Rachel and Ross's daughter, I looked over at her and said, "now there is going to be a bizzillion Emma's you know", her reply, "yep, and there is a bizzillion Mikes - so how did I end up with the biggest dork Mike of them all?" She has such a way...

How do you get the chart to go before 1900?

Taking about the type-in chart 1900-2003.

From the 70's on, ranked 10, 3, 3, 4. They couldn't spell my middle name properly until the 90's.

Nowhere near any sizeable fraction of the girls named Emma in the last 15 years are named after ancestors. They've got the name b/c it was trendy. JP

For what it's worth, we named our daughter Emma Margaret after two of her great grandmothers. It bugs me that the name may become trendy. I've never been in a crowded room without at least one or two other people with my name and it can be a pain using the phone when you have a common name. I thought for sure Emma was going to be a little bit unique. Shows what I know.

I guess Mikes with daughters named Emma after a great grandmother are more common than I thought. Geez, I never would have bet on that!

I agree about the trendy name thing, but if you love a certain name I guess go for it. Some how, the truly common names like Robert and Christopher transcend trendiness, (since their popularity is so long-lasting), but the group-think thing w/ certain kids' names drives me nuts. If I liked a certain name for my kid and it got trendy I would be bummed, but then again the chart prooves that most names had their hayday for only a short while, so I guess it's been going on forever.

I love cool, unusual names like Julius and Balthazar, (know one of each), but other great names like Jack are getting played-out big time right now on babies. (Including my 10 yr. old nephew).

When he grows up, every 3rd guy that he meets is going to have his "unique" name. Kind of like Joshua for 20-somethings now.

Was a time when there were only a few very cool "Jacks", ie. Nicholson, Black, Olsen, the ripper, etc...

There are a *****load of babies named "Max" right now, at least here in L.A. Same w/ Henry, Elijah, etc....

Juan and Jose are huge around here as well, but that's a different kind of trend(y).
