I hate my 60s name. Honestly, I’m in love with my 20s name. The 30s, 50s, 90s, 2000s, and 2020s were decent. I don’t like my 1910s and 1890s name, but I don’t hate it. 40s, 70s and 80s were okay, but I didn’t really like them much. I don’t know how to describe my feelings on the 1880s. I can’t stand the 60s name though.

My middle name was unranked, during the year that I was born...so, I guess that I'll just go off of my first name, lol.

2017 - Abigail Kinsley (I like a lot of 2010s names, but these two suck :/)
2007 - Elizabeth Rachel (my actual name, it's very Old Testament)
1997 - Madison Madeline (Mad- Mad-, yikes)
1987 - Elizabeth Alexandra (ooh I actually prefer this to my name!)
1977 - Kelly Wendy (ew)
1967 - Jennifer Cindy (another ew)
1957 - Donna Paula (not the best, but I could get behind it)
1947 - Donna Gail (worse than Donna Paula)
1937 - Margaret Sally (I love it!)
1927 - Barbara Ann (nah :P)
1917 - Virginia Viola (ooh, a bit V heavy, but I like it!)
1907 - Marie Mattie (Marie is so nice, but what an awkward combo. I don't like Mattie, anyways.)
1897 - Emma Mamie (too many Ms, but I love the names!)
1887 - Ida Stella (I love this!)

---

My favorites are Elizabeth Alexandra, Margaret Sally, Virginia Viola, Emma Mamie, and Ida Stella.

---

If I had to choose one to change my name to, I'd probably pick Margaret Sally. And I'd go by Maisie or Maggie.

---

Fun game!

Alas my middle name is my mom’s maiden name so it has never ranked at all so instead I found the male equivalent for each decade. Also Priscilla Sophronia is gorgeous!

---

2020s- Iris & Robert (these sound more 1920s than 2020s!)
2010s- Lydia & Blake
2000s- Amber & Cody
1990s- Catherine & Edward (a very aristocratic duo)
1980s- Chelsea & Eric
1970s- Gina & Johnny
1960s- Kathryn & Jay
1950s- Sally & Curtis
1940s- Rebecca & Barry
1930s- Lucille & Clyde (my favorite individual names & combo!)

1910s- Marguerite & Lee
1900s- Ellen & Johnnie
1890s- Flora & Leon
1880s- Olive / Addie & Leo

One of the male names is actually my surname! Also I’m not sure if this is how other people did it but I since I was born in ‘04 I searched the 4th year of each decade.

2020s-Kayla Addisyn
2010s-Leila Lyra
2000s-Haylee Janice
1990s-Tessa Irma
1980s-Ruth Kisha

I can't do the stats your way: my country doesn't keep any naming stats at all, and the UK (which would have been more likely than the USA to influence namers here until about 1990) doesn't keep the right kind. So I used the American data, which is wonderful and a joy to navigate. It didn't convince me, so I fiddled. Instead of counting in decades: 2020, 2010, 2000 etc, I counted in half-decades: 2020, 2015, 2010, 2005 ... and found that the differences were remarkable. Or, mine were! I used the decade of my birth to get the ranking numbers, and these are the results:
2020 Genesis + Lydia
2015 Caroline + Vivian
2010 Jasmine + Naomi
2005 Jenna + Claire
2000 Vanessa + Katie
1995 Julia + Sabrina
1990 Christine + Alexandria
1985 Cassandra + Nichole
1980 Susan + Denise
1975 Dana + Sherry
1970 Ann + Jodi
1965 Debbie + Jane
1960 Annette + Dorothy
1955 Lynn + Sally
1950 Sherry + Jeanne
1945 Christine + Ruby
1940 Sylvia + Lorraine
1935 Bonnie + Ellen
1930 Grace + Bertha
1925 Wilma + Myrtle
1920 Pearl + Nancy
1915 Mabel + Beulah
1910 Ella + Maggie
1905 Hattie + Georgia/Velma (dead heat)
1900 Lula + Olive
1895 Fannie + Lottie
1890 Dora + Etta
1885 Mamie + Willie
1880 Nancy + Olive

Quite the Chamber of Horrors! I'm so happy not to have been born between 1900 and 1880, but none of the others would really suit the person I am. No doubt I'd have become some version of all those names. Yikes!

Pro-tip for people whose names might not be in the top 1000: Google "beyond the top 1000 SSA", download the data, open it in an Excel sheet or a notepad program, and figure out what rank/line your name is! You can then use the same steps for every decade. :)

Some of these are kind of nice. Cheryl Victoria and Alison Sandra are pretty. Ann Caroline and Kate Hazel are kind of cute. Michelle Anna is passable. The rest are too clunky and off.
