HelpETA: One More
in reply to a message by Mireio
I once read the obituary of a woman named Jennifer who was born in the early 1930s.
The other example is my daughter's former mother-in-law, whose name is Heather. She is 54, having been born in 1962. I guess Heather was just starting its rise in 1962, but it's still somewhat surprising.
ETA: I thought of another. There was a girl in my high school class named Sloane. Since she was in my class, she had to be approximately my age, so born 1959 - 1961 and now somewhere between 55 - 57 years old. So this was the generation when a surname on a girl was highly unusual and Sloane, within that group, even more unusual than names such as Taylor or Blair. I thought her name was horrible at the time and actually still do. But it looks like Sloane has been rising rapidly within the last 7 years.
