My message read as follows;

'Eagle has never been a top 1000 name so we cannot display a graph based on the name Eagle'

Am I doing this correctly?

;) I'm sure you're doing it right! Same thing happened when I tried my

dog's name, Tamsen. But I think that's very cool :cool: to have an unusual

name!

Mine was most popular in the 1900's, very old fashioned name mine is yet strangly it isn't.

I know it makes little sense, but I have the name of Queens, and so it doesn't sound as old fashioned as some names :wah:

My middle name however is just as old and again the name of Queens and ranks in the top 10-20 for the past century :-2

This is brilliantly addictive, though naturally I`m a bit miffed that John has slipped down from 1st to 14th whilst at the same time David (my brother`s name) has crept up to 11th!

My middle name was most popular in the 1940's. It went to 568 in the 90s.

Thank you, John, now I don't need to look myself up. I do remember that half my class at school was called John.

Valerie, your name's so unusual that I've never met one, at least to talk to. The only reason I know the name is that Richard Thompson wrote a magical song about a girl called with your name. He probably came up with enough rhymes first, and then went for it like a bull at a gate. I hope you like it:

Valerie you give me a heart attack, Valerie you put me on the rack,

Well you say that I’m history, you say I’m no good, then you want to be two babes in the wood.

That’s what I call playing to the gallery - well I'm wait, wait, waiting for Valerie.

Valerie, she's got a scar down here, Valerie, she's got gold in her ear

A figure like this, lips like that, red fingernails, teeth like a cat

She never gets home till five or four or three. Well I'm wait, wait, waiting for Valerie.

Well I’m soft in the head and I give her hard cash, she spends all my money on junk and trash

Nylon fur and plastic shoes and fifty-seven things she’s never gonna use

Never, never never gonna use

Valerie you’re gonna choke and drown, Valerie why don’t you put that down

If you don’t get over this eating jag they’re gonna take you home in a body bag

I can’t stand to see one more calorie. Well I'm wait, wait, waiting for Valerie

Every time I turn my back she's round the corner looking for a craik

I know she’s going to be the ruin of me, she’s got me running on nervous energy

Runnin’ on nervous energy

Valerie she wants to move out of town, Valerie she wants money down

She wants leopard skin this, tiger skin that, matching luggage, lipstick, hat

I can’t afford her on my salary, still I'm wait, wait, waiting for Valerie.

my name, linda, was very popular after WWll. my son has a swedish name, Ivar. it means the archer, which is interesting since he is a lefty pitcher throwing 90 mph.

Mine (Robert) went from number 1 in the 20's and 30's to losing one or two ranking places every decade until the 90's where it took a plummet from number 8 to number 20. I went on this site Name Rankings and for 2000 to 2005 it has fallen even more, when I averaged it, to number 33 on the chart! In 2004 'Robert' hit a new low of 36!! - 9 placings behind 'Caleb'!?! :wah:

my name was actually top 300 until the 1940's then is steadily fell off. the decade I was born in, seventies, it was at 574, by the times the nineties rolled around it was 832.
