Following closely on the question "Boy or girl?", the name question is the second most common pregnancy question we get asked these days. While we're opting to not make any final decision until we see the little squirmer in our arms, we're doing some thinking, narrowing down the field.
This site helped the process, but mostly was just fascinating to watch the evolution of certain names over time. Why, oh why, did the name Paris make a launch in popularity in 2003? Same year, the name Emma launches to #2? Why did Arland go from 0 in a million births to 12 in the 1930's, only to drop back into obscurity in the '40s? I can only hope it's Marcel Arland, dadaist extreme...he'd appreciate it.

PS....it's a boy
