HelpRe: Best and Worst Names listed in the "Ladies Home Journal" from 1945
in reply to a message by diamanda
Interesting.
It does indeed show that names come back in fashion. Abigail, for instance, really sticks out.
But it also shows that some names never do come back. And some don't seem to have gotten a whole lot of use in the living memory of ... the survey responders? The perso who just compiled the list?
I mean, has Ethelbert actually been used since medieval times?
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
