Very cool site, that illustrates the popularity of baby names over time, from 1900 to 2003.
For every million babies born in 2003, about 1600 were named “Xavier,” while about 84 will go through life with the head-scratch-inducing label “Xzavier.”
Thanks for the link, Rosemary.

I was amused to note that lately a whole lot of “A” names have distorted the horizontal alignment of other names on the chart.
I was surprised to see how far “John” had fallen. While looking for names for the Byzantine mysteries I came across a site listing the most popular names from the 6th century eastern Romans. As in 1900, in the Name Voyager ranking, the most popular was “John.”
