Variety

If, like me, you find names and their role in modern society endlessly fascinating, this is the coolest site you'll see all day.

But like all good sites, it raises questions:

  • What happened in the 1980s that made Pierre spike so suddenly?
  • Who in their right mind would name their daughter William?
  • Why is nobody called Mildred or Elsie any more?
  • What the hell kind of name is Moises? Is that just a good Jewish name for boys born in Brooklyn?
  • And speaking of Brooklyn, why is no one following Posh and Beck's example for their son?

Answers, dammit! I want answers!
