Here you go, enter your name and year in which you were born and it will show the rise or fall of your name over time.

Kids born in 2016 have had a 95% drop in numbers with my name since I was born:(

So are you declining like me or newly popular?

12-12-2017 05:55PM

Boy or girl are the only options?

TRIGGERED.

Or something.

JimmyMcGill · 12-12-2017 05:58PM

There were no babys named my name in 2016. :-(

Ranked around 550 the year I was born.

Kermit.de.frog · 12-12-2017 06:05PM

Less than 3 Cecil's every year since 1994.

These people should be found by the state and given all the care they need for the trauma.

My name took an awful dive....

Tauriel · 12-12-2017 06:08PM

368 babies were born with my name in the year of my birth and there were only 22 babies born with my name in 2016.

D3V!L · 12-12-2017 06:11PM

There was 735 of us in the year of my birth and only 60 last year

We're a dying breed.....

Mr. Incognito · 12-12-2017 06:15PM

57 since 1982.

None registered since before I turned 19.

I've been making waves.

challengemaster · 12-12-2017 06:15PM

Was one of the first 10 named in the country... that's kinda cool I guess.

tuisginideach · 12-12-2017 06:15PM

No one of my name since 1995! And it's a lovely name!

cantdecide · 12-12-2017 06:23PM

1981 - 47th/ 239 births

2016 - 329th/ 13 births

baldbear · 12-12-2017 06:23PM

5 shakiras in 2010. & A few Madonnas in 1988. Ha ha.

whoopsadoodles · 12-12-2017 06:25PM

My named peaked in popularity the year I was born and has been in quick decline ever since with 18 registered births in 2016!

I really like my name. Wonder if it'll disappear soon.

7 Seconds... · 12-12-2017 06:31PM

I was one of 535 babies registered with my name in 1982, only 27 babies were blessed with it in 2016.

KrustyUCC · 12-12-2017 06:32PM

577 registered the year I was born

Down to 87 last year

RayM · 12-12-2017 06:35PM

I was one of 160 Raymonds born in 1982. Last year, the figure had tragically dropped to 11. With your help, we could save this beautiful name. Please donate.

Interesting.....
There were twenty girls named with 18 registered births in 2016.
Does your name begin with S?

Kermit.de.frog · 12-12-2017 06:40PM

7 babies born this year named Maximus. Guess they'll just use Max.

scarepanda · 12-12-2017 06:40PM

My name reached no. 3 with 647 10 years before I was born. 222 the year I was born and only 6 last year!

Are Am Eye · 12-12-2017 06:41PM

Im still top ten. Started at 2.

Ted Plain · 12-12-2017 06:44PM

Just looking at the name 'Noah'. Not one single child by that name in 1995 and then it really took off in popularity. Anyone know why that was?

Rubberlegs · 12-12-2017 06:45PM

785 in the year 1973, and 27 in 2016. I am a dying breed !

Kermit.de.frog · 12-12-2017 06:46PM

One thing I notice is Irish names in general slipping away down the list.

Must represent demographic changes or British cultural influence (a lot of English names near the top) or broadening horizons.

Or maybe just an overall decline in Irish cultural interest.

eviltwin · 12-12-2017 06:47PM

Less than 3 the year I was born, maybe I was the only one.

26 last year.

Funny that, my name is not unusual.

I know a couple who named their son Maximus. Yes, they just call him max

My name has gone from 302 babies in 1982 to just 18 last year. It's a fairly common Irish name, or at least it used to be!

bonzodog2 · 12-12-2017 06:50PM

Surprised to see there were 446 Noahs in 2016!

That's something I've noticed too. It's a pity really, we should really celebrate our cultural identity more.

KatW4 · 12-12-2017 06:53PM

103 the year I was born and 22 last year. It's a terribly old fashioned name so I'm actually surprised that there were so many last year!

Conor, Sean and Oisin still in the top 10 boys names though!

Beanntraigheach · 12-12-2017 07:03PM

There doesn't appear to be a single case of another person with my name!
I can't be the only Adolf in the country, surely.

It's a lovely name. Germanic, I believe. Can't imagine why it would be so unpopular.
