This is rather a cool little applet
Plug in your name and see when you were popular. For those wondering, my name peaked in the 80’s at 360 out of 1000.

hmmm, my name didn’t exist in the rankings before 2004. Although it seemed like 1 in every 10 boys born in Ireland in 1976 was called Ronan (there were always 3 Ronans per class of 30 as a general rule). The Keating years probably brought a similar boom.

I seemed to have topped out in the 1930’s at 35 per million. It seems I was born to the wrong generation. Up the Free State!

I’m not there at all, anywhere. Which pleases me.
If you spell my name wrong however, it’s very popular at the moment, which displeases me, as it leads to my name being misspelled by everyone.
