I’ve long been fascinated by the way that fashion changes in picking first names. How many 60 year old Jaidans, or Samanthas, or Brittanys do you know? How many 6 year old Johns, or Marys, or Janes? The pendulum swings wildly here. When I was younger Emily was an old lady’s name. I’ve never known one who is a contemporary (I’m 59). Yet there are many young Emilys out there. Does anybody name their daughter Deborah anymore?

Yep, FIVE by my count.

But we haven’t had a President with that name since 1881.

Garfield could have been a great President but for his anarchist co-assassin and ignorant (is Bliss) Doctor.

Probably most revealingly controversail is;

no one names their daughter Jezabel

weird because we're not supposed to be a religious culture and that God is not a big part of our lives

When I was younger Emily was an old lady’s name.

That is so true and funny! I remember as a kid the name Abigail being almost “Pioneer” sounding.
Now it’s pretty common!
Gives me hope!

Linda was a name that was extremely popular when I a child in the fifties and sixties. Now I wonder if there is anyone under thirty or forty named Linda.

When I was younger there was no one named Deshawn, Shamikquia or Lakwaanza.

But I had aunts named Belle, Maude and Madge.

In high school (1980’s) there was a girl named Pearl. Really weird name for a child in the 80’s. But we had a bunch of Emily’s.
