It's fun to see how names like "Anna" are popular across so many age groups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1670088 Fri, 30 May 2014 23:12:54 +0000 fairy 1670088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's pretty fascinating! thanks for sharing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1670078 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:56:30 +0000 googly-eyes 1670078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool! Lo's name is under "names with the widest age spreads" and so is one of our contenders for a girl name should we have another girl. Can't find mine, dh's, or our top boy name but now I'm thinking about looking that boy name up more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1670063 Fri, 30 May 2014 22:41:40 +0000 wonderstruck 1670063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting! It thinks my 1 year old is a bit over 5, but yeah it's definitely a 'younger' name at the moment. So is his little brother's, but those tend to just be the kind of names my DH and I like. Although despite the popularity of the name Declan on the internet, in real life people look at me like I've grown a second head when I tell them what his name will be.</p> <p>I love Violet so much but had it ruined by a Violet from the older generation. Sigh. Not that it matters anyways since I only have boys, haha! My name isn't on there but it's definitely 80s, was #24 the year I was born and is now wayyyy down in the 500s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669977 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:29:31 +0000 Caly 1669977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: Elmer is actually a family name for me!<br /> Had we had a boy, I still would have been hard pressed to use it. </p> <p>I've always guessed at someone's age based on their name. When naming our lo's dating them was something I wanted to avoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669966 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:19:03 +0000 yellowbird 1669966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool! My LO's middle name is violet. I liked it enough for it to be her first but dh liked it as a middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669959 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:16:05 +0000 Greentea 1669959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the name Mabel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669955 Fri, 30 May 2014 21:12:48 +0000 cmomma17 1669955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: love it!

C's name made the list (bimodal). But I knew that when we named her- it was number 7 in 1880 or something and is creeping up the charts now. My name totally dates me- almost every girl with my name you will meet was born in the early 80s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669931 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:52:44 +0000 rachiecakes 1669931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: J's middle name is Fredrick :)<br /> Dorothy was on the list for a girl </p> <p>My cousin just had a baby 'Walter' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669922 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:48:39 +0000 cmomma17 1669922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: so cool!</p> <p>I think the bees should try to resurrect the boy names Elmer, Willard, and Fred! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669914 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:43:12 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1669914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fascinating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name#post-1669874 Fri, 30 May 2014 20:18:32 +0000 mrsjazz 1669874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This article is pretty cool.
