As you can imagine, most of the names are either imported or invented. There are a few names I'm surprised to see way down there at the bottom. They're not recent creations, or terribly uncomfortable to modern ears; they've just somehow been unnoticed by today's parents.

Some of these names really are surprising!
ReplyDeleteYou got me curious and I looked up my own name (Anjanette). In 3 of the last 5 years, there were less than 5 babies names Anjanette.
There were 10 Anjanette's in 2009, 5 in 2006 & 2007.
My birth year (1983), there were 21 of us. :)
