johnross why there are so few Sharons in song (71* d) RE: why there are so few Sharons in song 18 Aug 07


It's much more interesting to look at the way popularity of names changes over time. For lists of American baby names dating back over a hundred years, look at http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/index.html.

Or for a Java tool that displays the way different names become more or less popular in a graph, follow the link from http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/.

As for Sharon, she peaked in the 1940's (Rank:8), dropping every decade since (1950s: 14, 1960's: 23, 1970s: 63, 1980s: 169, 1990s: 331)
