Ah, thanks very much; that is probably the explanation. But what a flash in the pan that was. That's the closest I've seen to a name which actually does pinpoint the year someone was born.

I remember figuring that out about Katina quite a while ago.Coincidentally, my newspaper column this week was about one of the biggest flash in the pan names for boys, Shaquille. That's interesting because the boys named after Shaquille O'Neal are just reaching the age that where a few of them will be becoming famous athletes themselves: http://www.omaha.com/article/20120306/LIVING/703069899#cleveland-shaq-attack-hits-universities
