It's interesting to see how names spread, and what the trends are. But, because they only show the most popular names, and we can't see the forerunners, it's like someone dropped a Jenny-bomb in the US in 1970 and it lasted for the whole decade! The Lisa era before that is quite impressive as well.

I wonder why no other name has reigned supreme after the 80's though. Even Jessica, which replaced Jennifer, fails to hold sway of whole regions like the previous names did...

Im guessing it's because there was more of a homogeneous culture back then. Everyone read the same magazines (think Time, Life), listened to the same music, and watched the same movies. Now everything is so specialized. Millioms of cable channels. Netflix. Tons of genres of music. No one does anything together anymore like they used to.

Could have something to do with media saturation from more global sources perhaps that causes people to pick from difference sources? Plus during the 80's, that terrible era I went to school in, a lot of parents began a special snowflake naming for kids to give them an "independent identity" for lack of a better description.

That whole 80's-90's era was full of optimistic beans that kids had more opportunities and we'd have more genius's, astronauts and brain surgeons as a result... of course it was all copious amounts of smoke being blown up their collective arses, as we can well now see that 99.9% those kids are rotting on factory floors and in cubicles around the world, the same as their ancestors where 30-40 years ago.

Don't forget, people often name their kids after family members and ancestors, so back in the past there may well have been a lot of Jenny's running around and people might have named theirs after a favourite great aunt, grandmother or so forth. I got a special snowflake name as there was no family history with my name in it from either side, but it could be worse... look up what blacks and lower class poor whites call their kids in America and I think I got off fairly lightly really

Haven't met anyone called Sha'Dorito or La'Hershy yet, but I think its only a matter of time they replace the Shaniqua's, La'Quaysha's and Laquita's.

Ow that's pretty bad, on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it an 8!

At least I can use my middle name as a first name, so it doesn't sound like mum was tripping on analgesics when she thought it was a good idea. Sort of helps when creating a first impression that your parents where not rampaging drug fiends.

Yeah, it seemed like there were at least two Jennifers in every class when I was going to school.

Of course, it was much the same experience for me: at one point I even played on a soccer team where three other guys had the same name as I did, lol. My parents certainly weren't bucking the trends. But my first name is my dad's middle name, so maybe it was that rather than just the popularity.

I went to school with a kid called Brain. We thought he was a bit of a show off, but it turned out his parents were dyslexic.

Can't you just pull a Lira or an Acton and introduce yourself by your family name?

I mean, my first name is not exactly uncommon... Marcus Vinicius is just a tad bit long

There is an annual topic at a national radio show over here. Two DJ's made it up, it's called "Schaamnaam", "Shame name" and it's really funny. They look for the most funny names of people. Here are some:

Lira, see how far your Dutch brings you

Bennie Thuis _____________ "I'm not home" when "translated".
2008: Stanley Messie ______ "Stanley knife" when "translated" "messie" like a tiny knife
2009: Fokje Modder _______ "Fuck y'r mother" when "translated", Actually "modder" is dirt in Dutch
2010: Con Domen _________ obvious -en = -s "translated"
2012: Hendy Keppy _______ "handicap (py)" like "tiny handicap".

Also one of my favorites: Justin Kees "Just in case"

The "Bennie Thuis" one took me a while, hehe.

Yeah, that's a really nice one "Ben niet thuis"

Do other languages also have such funny combinations especially after being "translated" to another language like English here?
