Help[Opinions] John...
in reply to a message by livieluvbug
...has fallen in popularity quite a bit, from a steady #1 for centuries to #20. "But that's still common!" Sure, but it's less common than all the Calebs and Jacobs running around in my generation and the one younger than me. Off the top of my head, I don't know a single John. Jonathan is #22, by the way. I guess those two extra spaces make it much more uncommon than the "so common" John?
Don't understand your point about Lucas either. It's been steadily GAINING, not LOSING, popularity, so it can't be becoming more uncommon.
And I cannot see how John, probably the most classic name in the world, isn't dignified to you, but I guess we'll agree to disagree on that. (Personally, I find John much more regal and dignified than Jonathan, though I don't have a problem with Jonathan.)
