[Facts] Re: Influence on popularity of Mia discovered...
This is probably inane but...way back in 1994 it was Uma Thurman's characters name in Pulp Fiction. That's when I think it "got into" my own consciousness as a possibly "cool" name, anyway.. she introduces herself into the mic right before the twist contest, so the name is spoken on the soundtrack too.Speculation from my armchair: Does there have to be a popularizing bearer? Seems to me it is just a name whose time has come - way too Mia Farrow for young parents, until recently, but still a little exotic? Its climb looks a little bit like Jennifer's - a "new" name that gets popular on a sort of exponential curve, very slowly at first and then whoosh after a few decades of exposure? (I think Jennifer Cavilleri came along a bit after the name started to really take off.)- mirfak
