Have you ever wondered which names were most popular in years past? What’s the most popular name today?
Well Laura Wattenberg, author of The Baby Name Wizard, has created a Java tool that searches the Social Security Administration database of names for answers to questions just like this. Of course, since the data comes from the Social Security Administration the information is relevant only to the United States, but even non-Americans will have fun playing with this website.
Check it out at http://babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/ Even if you are not going to name a baby any time soon, you’ll want to take a gander at this site. It’s really neat.
