While doing some data analysis on the namethingy, I came across some interesting findings.

The boys and girls names therein were taken mostly from recent US census data (and adapted, modified, and otherwise mangled for my own use).

What I found interesting was that once a particular name has gotten some bad press, it can poison that name for centuries from being used again. Just think, when was the last time you met somebody named:

Cain

Goliath

Judas

Hansel

Gretel

Benedict

Napolean

Adolf
