Is it any wonder why people always told their mother or grandmother was named Lorraine???

Look up your name! I dont think the recent stats are 100% accurate but for an 'old' name like mine, it doesn't really matter!

OMG, I can only imagine that Mary must have been very poular way back when, it's such a Grandma name. I've never like it!

Pretty interesting. I like sites like that. I looked up Rosalie and it was somewhat common in the 30's and 40's. I think it is pretty much never used nowadays. Pretty cool!

My name was first in the top 1000 in 1942 and is still in the top 1000.
Surprisingly, Constantine was in top starting in 1885 to 1982.
