I was playing around on the SSA website & I found the most curious thing. The popularity of my name & my DD is the exact opposite thru the decades. My name, Andrea, starts off low in the 1900s at 560 & slowly rises to peak at 29 in the 70s & was at 46 in the 90s. My DD, Eleanor starts in the 1900s at 65, peaks in the 20s at 29 then falls off to a low of 748 in the 80s & bouncing up to 599 in the 90s. Andrea & Eleanor meet in popularity in the 1940s at 150 & 122. I just find it interesting that I picked a name that was so opposite of my own. Guess I didn't want her to be "Bailey W" her whole life!

That's pretty funny! Maybe you can chart the pattern and find the names of any future children that way! LOL. :P

Actually that's how I found some of the girl names in my poll below!
