The waves of baby names
September 11th, 2007 by lene12
I just discovered the baby name wizard - explore the sea of names, letter by letter…watch the waves of trends rise and fall , and dive in deeper to see a name’s place in the historical tides.
You start with nearly 5000 names of babies born in US. The names are displayed over more than a century, each stripe in the wave is a timeline of one name, its width reflecting the name’s popularity. You can click on a name for a closer look - or type a letter to zoom in on how that initial has been used.

Wauw…this is FANTASTIC. Especially since names are always a convenient conversation-topic. And this definately adds a lot of new aspects to the future name-discussions.
