Are you a Wendy or a Gwendolyn?

Plain old Wendy with no middle name ...

Plain old Wendy is fun! And having no middle name seems to be pretty common to a lot of people.

Re: How popular are you?

Really you're just a Debbie- not short for Deborah? My parents' neighbor is just Katie & my dad's friend is just Danny--Neither is short for anything.
I guess if that is what you are goingto call your child, you may as well just go with it.

Michelle - Means: Who is like God?
Decade Popularity Rank
1900's >1000
1910's >1000
1920's >1000
1930's >1000
1940's 304
1950's 96
1960's 9
1970's 4
1980's 12
1990's 31

The trend does not surprise me. I was born in the seventies and there were always a few Michelles in my class.

Re: How popular are you?

Sorry, Sachiko has never been a top 1000 name so we are unable to display a graph for the name Sachiko.

Re: How popular are you?

In the 1960's it was #18!
In the 1990s it has went down, it is at 125 now. I think other versions of my name are more popular. My name is Julie but I think Julia or Julianna is more popular.

Re: How popular are you?

OK, my favorite name for my little girl (wen I have one) was very popular in 1910!!! Now it is not popular at all. No wonder why Ray calls it an old ladies name.

Re: How popular are you?

Sasha = Pet form of Alexander (which is partially wrong, because it's English for Alexander or Alexandra or any variation of since the name's russian...and it means helper of mankind) OK, off my box!

Nothing before the 1970's
in the 1970's I was #677
in the 1980's I was #266
in the 1990's I was #320 (lost popularity)

fun post - thanks!
