Thanks for the link, Rosemary.

I was surprised to think how many babies got the name Jacob over the years.
Marygrace, your name didn't appear in this database.

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."
