If you’re having a baby soon or just looking for a unique English moniker, go check out this cool prog: http://www.babynamewizard.com/namevoyager/lnv0105.html . It ranks the popularity of names (in the US) in each decade. Also, check out the programmer’s blog: http://www.babynamewizard.com/blog/. She has a myriad of information regarding names: their origins, their cultural significance, their impact on the name bearers’ lives, their evolution and their rise and fall in popularity. Pretty interesting stuff here, though I wish there could be something similar for Chinese names too.
