[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny because the minute you've thought you've found an under the radar name, wait three years and you'll know at least two people who have used it... This stuff goes in cycles and they sneak up on you. I guarantee there were people back in the 70s who thought they were doing something novel and different by naming their kids Jessica or Stephanie.

It is an incredibly rare name that actually goes from obscurity to top 10.  If you care to follow the trends, there are now plenty of ways to do it.  I am a fan of the SSA site where you can type in a name to see it's popularity number over time.  You can usually see a steady rise before a name is everywhere.

I had one of those late 70s names that my parents thought was so nice and different....and everyone else apparently had the same thought ;P. It annoyed me so much that I went to great lengths to make sure that my children's names weren't anywhere near the top of the SSA list.  I aimed for less than 500 with no steady rise over the past several years.  Their names are not crazy, out there names - they are normal names that people are familiar with.  They are just the ones that are not currently in favor.[/quote]
