Nice quiz. You have a typo in the 6th name for 1980.

@lucia: The source is here: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/index.html. You can find lists for any year or decade back to the 1880s.

@readysetgo88: From the title, I thought you were looking for top names for each decade, like 2000s, etc. I couldn't understand why some (like Isabella) weren't listed. Maybe you could clarify in the instructions that you're looking for names from the year 2000, 1990, etc. rather than the decade. I really enjoyed the quiz. I was furiously typing and didn't make many wrong guesses and still couldn't get them all in 10 min.

All of those 1910s names sound like old ladies. Oh, wait...

Wow, there was a huge turnover between 1960 and 1970. Looks like the Baby Boomers retired all of their popular names en masse when they started having kids of their own.

I find the newest names the hardest to remember. You really need to grow up with people with those names. I always scroll through my friends and relations but that'll only get you half the answers. Especially when you don't live in America.

Nicola and Gemma have only ever really been common in the UK, not in the US.

Slightly surprised that Victoria was only common in the year 200-though maybe that's because I live in the UK and it's more common there.

I knew a Filipina named Gemma in junior high. I had no idea it was a British name until years later.

No Kristin? No Catherine? Both of those floored me. Half of the girls in my eighth grade class were named Kristin, and another four were Catherines.

Loved this quiz. Names are my thing, and even then, it was a challenge.

Yeah, finally, my real name, Mary, was the top-rated name in the 60s. I was one of 4 Mary's in my class. But I, too, was surprised that Catherine/Katherine was not there. I always had tons of Cathys in my class. I went through all the older women's names, and some of them were correct. Hard quiz.

I think Catherine doesn't show up because each spelling is counted separately. I'm positive that if you added up Catherine, Katherine, Kathryn etc. it would make the top 20 for many of these years.

The girls quizzes always seem to be way harder than the boys.

I can't believe Mildred, Gladys and Doris aren't popular names anymore.

What does it say about me that I did better on the bottom half of the chart? (I know, I'm old).

It was fun to watch the trends as I guessed names. The answers came up in diagonals, mostly. Some names gained popularity recently, but mostly the more popular names became less popular as time went on.
