Well damn, if I were born today I'd simply be baby-girl-XXXX. When I entered my data it told me to try again, that "We couldn't find data for girl's name X". According to the site my name was given (used?) less than 5 times in the year I was born. Oh well, I like my name so if nothing else I'd just have the same one I guess. lol

Today I would be named Isabel. There are some cute names on my list...in the 40s I would have been Amelia and in the 1900s I would have been Hallie. Some I could skip though.... My 1970s name is Candy and my 2000s name is Mercedes. I don't have the personality for either of those names. If you ever decide to start dancing for money, you have names you can pick from!

Aria today. The rest of the names were actually pretty decent and normal. My husband suggested this for our DD, who was born in 1999. I didn't like it. I kind of like it now.

I did my first and middle name and today I'd be "Layla Leila"! I suppose that's better than the 1890's when I would have been "Fannie Vinnie". UGH!! That's like my 1900's name: Lena Leaner.
I actually like my 1920's name: Gertrude Emeline
My partner's names were hilarious though:
1970's - Butch 1940's - Dorris 1910's - Theresa (?)

I just clicked on that white area below (usually it would say "submit" but it's blank). Then it shows the name.
My inlaws were very ahead of the time with name popularity! They named my sil "Caitlyn - 1970" and they couldn't find a match, it showed up less than 5 times!

My name was the 631st most popular name of the year I was born. Therefore, all of my names are at the bottom of the barrel! Today I would be Cherish! Yikes, but not as bad as (moving in reverse chronological order): Shanna, Ladonna, Tashia, Roseanne, Imelda, Luvenia, Laurine, Arvella, Lovella, Lady, Junie and the best of the bunch, 1890s: Candace. The one from the decade I was born was Luvenia! Who would name a girl Luvenia in the '50s? So sad!

I would be Emma today; but 7 of the other one's were Mary.
ETA: My first and middle name would not show up. "Meaning it shows up less than 5 times."

Today I'd be Madelyn. It's funny that it's not spelled the traditional way and my parents did spell mine traditionally, either.
In the 2000s, I would have been Jade, which I really like. It would have been in the mix had we had a girl.
The worst name on my list was Lucile (1910s), which isn't bad. The most unusual was Ora (1890s).
Thanx for the link, btw!

I would be Finley.
My 1890s name is Clare. I like that one. But my 1920s name, Enid, not so much.
