Name Voyager

This is a pretty cool piece of programming. It's a fascinating way to represent data and it's pretty cool to see how names break down. Mine, for example, is about four times more popular than when I was born. Nyarlathotep's is about four times less popular. Geekwife's was SOOO trendy when she was born, #50 out of 1000. One kid's name is hugely popular, #93 out of 1000, while the other kid's isn't on the list at all, for any decade of the last 100 years. My mom on the other hand had the #3 name when she was born. Fun stuff. Check it out. Requires Java.

That was fun to play with. I bet if we could check the British Isles, vs. America, we'd find our other kid's name.
