50's- 250
60's- 41
70's- 25
80's- 102
90's- 392

glad I'm not that popular. I hated sharing my name with other people. I'm very possessive.



You are popular, it's supposed to be read by the thousands.


It says if you have a 1, its the most popular. If you have 1000 it's the 1000th most popular. So I've never been in the top 10, which is what I'm basing my 'Popularity' on.



oops, I'm going to get more coffee now.

I'm VERY unpopular

my best ranking was in the 80's, I was ranked 128 (yes that was the BEST!)





I bet that has a lot to do with General Hospital

BTW, Anthony's mother looks sooo young! Just saw pics on Newlyweds...

Yes, I was thinking the same thing re: Felicia & GH

Amazing Farah wasn't more popular in the 70's though (maybe its the spelling )

And Farah, my MIL would adopt you as her new daughter if she heard you say that !! (yes she is a very young MIL and actually a sweetheart too)

I'm not even a blip on the radar!!!!!





but your names means delightful!!!



Does that mean I'm delightfully unpopular?????



BTW: I've never seen delightful as a description for my name, nor have I seen joy, which is what the stupid site told me! I have seen 'beautiful' which supposedly comes from middle English...and of course there's my favorite - Farah means WILD DONKEY in Arabic!!!

8, in the 1970s. Interestingly enough. . . that's when I was born. I thought my parents were a bit more creative than that though.

Re: How popular are you?

Debbie-Means nothing, a form of Deborah but my name is Debbie

1940's -428

1950's

1960's

1970's

The 1940's the highest amount and being that I was born in the 70's, It topped there too.

My name is dying down too....is cause of the celebrity's naming their kids, Apple, Coco, and weird ones like that!
