Told me to come back on a modern browser with a snarky message. Guess iPhone 6 with latest iOS isn't modern.
Re: Name Age Calculator
#34The increase of "Alexander" starting from the mid-80s looks really weird: http://rhiever.github.io/name-age-calculator/index.html?Gend... It's easy to see why names such as "Buzz" have the curves that they have (space race), but it's hard to trace any event that influenced more common names. For example, check "Jacob", "Justin". Does anybody have an idea as to why these curves have this shape?
"Amy" is another interesting one, what influenced that? http://rhiever.github.io/name-age-calculator/index.html?Gend...
I just figured out that it shows a random one when you don't enter a query, that's cool.
Other spikes: Linda, Jordan, Mason, Deborah, Beth, Paige, Laurie, Chloe, Megan, Stella, Stacey, Kim
It seems like female names are much more likely to have sharp spikes in popularity verses male first names.

#35Anyone else think this is kind of odd? http://rhiever.github.io/name-age-calculator/index.html?Gend...
Girls named Ian? Or the fact that there's a lot of variation? Because with such small numbers, there's going to be a lot of random noise.

Weird, check out Brittany. http://rhiever.github.io/name-age-calculator/index.html?Gend...
Kathy is almost as tight of a peak:

My point is, the tightness of the peak might have nothing to do with Ms Spears.

Names (just like everything else) have fads. Fads come and go.
