Want to know how popular you name is. Here is alink that will tell you.

I don't know if I should be upset or happy. Gail isn't in the top 1000 for the last 14 years. Hell even when I was younger I didn't know anyone by that name. Now I love my name. :love:

It wouldn't go back to when I was born, but in 1990 it was 239. Not too shabby. I used to be unique but lately it seems like everywhere I go I am bombarded with Cassie's.

There was a thread on this a long time ago.

My name was the very last name on the list. Out of every name in the entire universe.

My name is ridiculously popular. In fact at least twice a week someone will sing a song to me with the name Sarah in it.

Its not so much as a western thing as there is a folk song that goes "Sarah, Sarah, will you come out tonight?"

If Lando happens to be short for Orlando then your name is super hott.

And Yeah. I can think of like three more songs with Sarah in it.
It blows. Its like a band trying to come up with a female name automatically goes with Sarah without concidering my feelings. :cry:

*sigh* Man.. my name has been in the top 100 for quite some time. I'm the oldest Taylor i know though so i'm assuming it wasnt popular at all in 1986.
