| 5 | Logan | Isabella Yesterday when I was reading Modern Mrs. Darcy post about favorite links I found a link to find out what my name would be if I had been born in each decade. When I was born my name was the 21st most popular name. So using that they showed the 21st most popular name for each decade. Here's what I would have ended up with:
My name today would be
Grace
My 2000s name is
Alexandra
My 1990s name is
Crystal
My 1980s name is
Erica
My 1970s name is
Barbara
My 1960s name is
Laurie
My 1950s name is
Marilyn
My 1940s name is
Ann
My 1930s name is
Marjorie
My 1920s name is
Edith
My 1910s name is
Lucille
My 1900s name is
Sarah
My 1890s name is
Cora
Grace, Alexandra and Erica would have been ok, the rest of these names I would have hated. What would your name be if you had been born in a different decade?

I don't know what my name might have been--when my mother chose 'Sharon' it was apparently quite uncommon.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find the link but I also like the name Sarah - I have two sons but if I had a daughter I would have called her Victoria.
ReplyDeleteI was born in the forties and am Joanne, but according to my mother, that is a diminutive of John, for my father. So is Janet. So is Janice, my sister. That's all I know about names.
ReplyDeleteI found the link but it would't work for me so I've no idea about what my 'name' would have been over the years. Names are fascinating aren't they? I've always liked Laura as a girls name:)
ReplyDelete"Crystal"!!!
ReplyDeleteI can just picture her in a "Dallas"-style outfit with big pouffy hair, shoulder pads, and sequins.
:D
At least most of the current popular ones sound classy.
A friend of mine posted this on Facebook and my name today would have been Mya I think we dislike names from a certain era because they don't feel "right", they are either too young or too old.
ReplyDeleteSo, do I have to call you "Grace" now? ;)
Have a good day,

Could you post the link please I cant find it? lol I am techno silly some times.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a boy I would have been Josef or Matthew/Matias. But I was named after an Aunt Marisol, she was called Maria in everyday life so I became Sol.
Thank you for visiting my blog. My name, real name is, Melba YUK! My Mother told me that my Dad named me after a school teacher he had. I love to talk about names.
ReplyDeleteYou might hate those names by your today "you". But back in the 40's you might have liked that name.
ReplyDeleteNames are so interesting.
cheers, parsnip
I got there this time - my name would be Lauren today apparently.
ReplyDeleteI would be Claire today...I am fine with that and Billie in the 1930's and guess what Willie in the 1920's:)
