Mohammed #1 in Britain

[BDunnell]

My name is 191st on the list, and has been steadily dropping in popularity in recent years (must be because of Mohammed : ).

Yeah, it's all 'their' fault.

The only obvious thing to do is to kill everyone, right now. Start with A's and move back to Z. No more name problems.

But who the hell calls names their kid Alfie?

My cousin called her son Alfie when he was born six years ago. A different cousin this summer then called his daughter Isabella or Izzy for short. My nextdoor neighbour has to weedy little dogs. They are called Alfie and Izzy. When my neighbour is shouting at the dogs in the garden it never fails to amuse me.

Apparently my name is 966th for males (in '08), but I bet that they're all pronouncing it wrong. Strangely it isn't in the top 1000 for females, although Janet rates a bit higher.

[glauistean]

Surprised mine is not in the top 1,000 either. I see that Michael is #2. Although, it is most likely any Michael will be named Mike or Mick.

Looking at the 'Decades' listing, I see that Edward was 23rd most popular in the 1950s.
Had I been born female, my name would've been Margaret (23rd on that list for females).
These days my name has dropped to about #140. 'Ed' or 'Eduard' do not make the top 1,000.

Check again, it's 99th :

Edward and Margaret. Sounds like a pair of royals.

I no longer want to be associated with that common moniker

I knew a country girl that named her daughter "Corvette" possibly in honor of the place of conception. The little girl was lucky to come along when she did because if she had come about from the next boyfriend, her name might have been '76 Pinto wagon.
