	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.

	How did I not come across this quiz before? Congrats on getting it published.

	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.

	How come I never remember all the variations? :p

	Catherine/Katherine/Kathryn/Kathy? That was a waste of time trying those!

	so many names i'm surprised are not there: abbie, harriet, nicola, gemma, the list goes on!

	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.

	Missed my own freaking name. It's never shown up on any of these before!

	It's amazing how many names of people I know that I didn't put while answering... These quizzes are fun but so frustrating!

	What happened to Mary in the 1970's?

	mccat:	Mar 11th, 2012 at 19:15 GMT		3 points
	I needed more time.

	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.

	No Jane? Even during the time of the Dick and Jane books?

	unkpoker:	Mar 12th, 2012 at 16:12 GMT		2 points
	I missed three names of girls I dated for over a year...sigh...

	That's strange, tndawg didn't come up for me when I tried it...

	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).

	Xpider:	May 11th, 2012 at 04:45 GMT		1 point
	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.

	Doris is due for a comeback.
