	Just seen that this has been published! Thanks Sporcle admins! :D

	Two spellings of Michelle? Really?

	royalpink:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 17:50 GMT		2 points
	My name's number 2 on the 2000s list. :) It's more popular in the US than in Norway, then.

	Margaret was #2 for 8 decades in a row, then disappeared altogether? What happened?

	hodgetiger:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 18:00 GMT		17 points
	You mean eighties parents didn't name their little girls Madonna ?!

	adamnvillani:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 18:05 GMT		24 points
	Surprised that "Melanie," "Melinda," and "Matilda" never made it.

	Exodiafinder687:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 19:08 GMT		6 points
	Wow. I can't believe there isn't a single Mallory on the list.

	We need one of these for every letter. A third column with the name's overall rank for that decade would be nice, too.

	Morgan is a rotter of a name. No idea why it is so popular

	triplet_3:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 19:52 GMT		3 points
	@rogerpants: I've done a quiz for most letters (girl names), and I'm made a start on creating ones for boy names too. Links are to be found on my profile. :) Good idea about a third column; I'll put that in place in my future 'letter' name quizzes. I can't add anything to this quiz because on publication it was locked by the admins.

	How to tell you're reaching: Messalina.

	triplet_3:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 20:04 GMT		6 points
	@chris968: the highest Maude got was 6th most popular 'M' name (in the 1880s), ranked at #25 overall.

	triplet_3:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 20:13 GMT		4 points
	@adamnvillani: Melanie was 7th most popular 'M' girls name in the 1970s, Melinda was 10th in the 1960s and Matilda was 16th in the 1880s. That's the highest any of them got.

	Why isn't Mary in the top 5 in the 2000s and Madison is? Why is it so fashionable to give your girls names that used to be surnames?

	happygi1more77:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 20:58 GMT		3 points
	great quiz

	eab21:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 21:00 GMT		26 points
	My sisters Mashugana and Macadamia feel left out.

	Oddish:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 21:56 GMT		4 points
	Grammar police! The subtitle of the quiz on the Sporcle homepage says: "Apparently Morla and Merlene are not as popular names as I was lead [sic] to believe."

	emmafrisbee:	Nov 13th, 2011 at 22:23 GMT		3 points
	Great quiz! I was surprised about Melanie and Melinda too.

	Emmerz:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 00:25 GMT		7 points
	On second thoughts, perhaps I shouldn't call my daughter Mavis...

	elroy:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 00:34 GMT		-4 points
	Why do Michelle and Michele count as two different names? They're just two different spellings of the same name. You should accept either spelling for both.

	triplet_3:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 00:43 GMT		7 points
	I listed them seperately because that's how it is in the source. The quiz has been locked now that it's published, so I can't make any changes myself.

	nupsmommy:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 00:55 GMT		1 point
	I said Marjory instead of Marjorie.

	Propellerhead:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 00:59 GMT		14 points
	Apparently Morticia never caught on...

	melissa:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 01:54 GMT		12 points
	Thought Madeleine would be in the 2000s for sure - seems like every other little girl around our neighborhood is named Madeleine / Madeline.

	jobean82:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 09:24 GMT		10 points
	@ShaunCold, MaKayla is a horrible idiotic spelling of Michaela. Not that Michaela appeared either, I just hate stupidly spelled names.

	nightfloat:	Nov 14th, 2011 at 09:31 GMT		6 points
	@melissa: There are like 7-8 spellings of Madeleine in the top 1000 right now, so the name won't show as strong as it really is.

	Well, the good thing about Michaela is that it does show clearly the fact that it is a feminine form of Michael. With the spelling Makayla/Mikayla that isn't obvious. I don't think Makayla/Mikayla are horrible, though

	I don't care for a lot of names that are given to kids now, but I didn't care for a lot of names in past decades, either. I just find it tiresome that so many people find it fashionable to rank on what others name their kids. I mean, aren't there real issues to get upset about in the world? Anyway, I love these quizzes. I've done most of the other ones that triplet_3 created. These are always a lot of fun. Good work
