    Funny how the names have changed - so many of us were top ten when we were born and are now out of the top 100!

    Number 1 the year I was born and 138 now...it was even number one for a few years after I was born. Makes me feel better about giving LO a very popular name, since I love my name no matter how popular it is and hers too, of course (: I wonder how names get popular anyway! I found Lo's name when I was subbing in a class once and never knew it was so freaking popular /:

    honeydew / 7916 posts

    #74 then and close to 700 now. I'm amazed it's in the top 1000 or ever was in the last few decades because I've never met anyone my age or younger with the same name!

  22. oliviaoblivia

    pineapple / 12793 posts

    570 then 63 now. No wonder the only other Mayas I've met are under five. Or dogs. I know a lot of dogs with me name. Wutup @mrstiz:

    @cheesetomywhine: I LOVE your name!

  24. Crisark

    pomegranate / 3398 posts

    705 then and now not in the 1000 to be ranked...I'm considering that as a good thing because I know the spelling is unique.

    I'm shocked! My name was 41 the year I was born (1977) and isn't ranked at all now!

    #37 when born (though I would have guessed it would be higher considering the number of Lindsey's I knew growing up) and #524 now which sounds about right to me.
