Are you into names?

I am.  And I found the most interesting tool for tracking the popularity of names through time.  My nickname, Laney, was the 483rd most popular name in 2006 and not even on the list before 2003.  Yet my real name, Elizabeth, is very common: #9 in 2003 and consistently in the top ten since the 1800’s.
