The Name Game
okay this isn't really a game but I found this to be kinda interesting
check out this site to see where your name ranks over the course of time.

Heres the top names (male - female) since the 1900s

1900s: John - Mary
1910s: John - Mary
1920s: Robert - Mary
1930s: Robert - Mary
1940s: James - Mary
1950s: Michael - Mary
1960s: Michael - Lisa
1970s: Michael - Jennifer
1980s: Michael - Jessica
1990s: Michael - Ashley
2003: Jacob - Emily

and how do the authors of this site rank over time you may be asking (but probably not)

Mike: 167th, 135th, 184th, 202nd, 82nd, 82nd, 49th, 216th, 473rd, 583rd, 623rd
Steve: 151st, 118th, 155th, 182nd, 85th, 59th, 54th, 162nd, 223rd, 329th, 448th
Tom: 115th, 145th, 139th, 121st, 97th, 138th, 121st, 367th, 614th, 853rd, not in top 1000

alright, granted none of those are our birth names (if i'd gone that way i woulda dominated). so what have we learned here today? my parents: not the most original namers on the block....oh well i coulda been Moxie CrimeFighter

Comments:
i've no beef with the female names but jacob?? i've never even met a jacob i think
 
hahahaha i was bitching about that too, but i forgot to put it in the post....i don't mind being knocked out of the #1 spot, but by jacob?! really?!

i also don't know any jacob's, but if its 2003s most popular name i 'spose its cause i don't know that many 2 year olds
 
damn I dominated in the early going with the rankings, but dropped right off.... and not even in the top 1000? what's up with that!

at one time there was 4 different Tom's on my hockey team!!!
 
Yeah i was really suprised tom wasn't in the top 100, but when Jacob is #1 who knows whats up with folks these days

oh and i thought of a jacob....jacob two-two and the hooded fang....never read the books though
