My fellow boxing enthusiast Dreaderick sent along this link to a snazzy graphic baby name popularity index.
Fun to play around with!
I discover that my oddly spelled moniker 'Stephan' ranked 384th in the decade of my birth, the pesky 60's (my mother was aiming for 'stephen' but got it wrong....I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to everyone I chewed out for "mispronouncing" my name over the years).
The normal spelling 'Steven' ranks #11, which explains why my high school spanish class was stocked with five different Steves.
The choking predominance of Steves in my immediate social circle led directly to all my friends calling me "Bax", a stopgap that remains in place to this day.

most shocking is the Aiden / Aidan phenomenon... I think we're in for a heavy wave of sensititive males circa 2020.
nah - I would expect the opposite. the feyer the name the more they will have to defend themselves on the playground.
- gp
hence the boy named Sue
excellent point.
