How unique is that cool new name you're giving your kid?
Type a name in this wizard, and it will tell you how frequently it was given to babies over the years. Throw a rock and you'll hit a Jason my age which isn't surprising when you see that Jason was the third most common name given in the seventies. My favorite activity is to enter names I've heard given to children recently that I thought were quite unique. Watch the recent spike in those names.

In 1970 roughly 50 people named their child "Brain". Could it be that they couldn't spell Brian? That would be ironic. Maybe they were very optimistic. Someone should find out how those kids turned out.
cool site. at least my name is on the decline, going from 2 to 14. but still not terribly encouraging... then again i really don't care how many people i share a name with ;-)
