Paola was never in the top 100 but naturally I know this.

Aileen was never in the top 100. This website sucks.

Ashley peaked in Louisiana in 1985, and was also very popular in North Dakota in the same year, which explains why there were so damn many of us in elementary school. Now I live in the UK and I have a boy name….I can never win :(

“Karla” peaked in North Dakota in 1964. After running away from her alcoholic father, she surged on for much of the sixties until ultimately settling for a quiet, low profile existence throughout the eighties and nineties. Now mainly a resident of the “Spanish south,” she spends her Saturdays at La Marketa and Sunday mornings at Roman Catholic mass.

This is RIGGED! It has to be. My name must really, really suck as it peaked in two states in 1962. Funny how JACK is in all 50 states in 2007. The fix is in! The fix is in!

According to that site, people stopped giving their kids my name in 1998. That's pretty cool, because it means that when I'm old, my name will be associated with being old. I'll feel like old people named Earl or Mildred feel today, which I imagine is pretty awesome, if you ignore the debilitating arthritis and constant threat of sudden death.

This seems to be limited to 1960 and after. I haven't found any names that peaked earlier, and I know better.

Jeffrey peaked in 1970 in Nebraska (I was born there in '73). Pretty cool. But it's a little depressing to see that it's no longer in the top 100 of ANY state now :(
