  1. When I looked up my name, I found out that it only ranked 472. This wasn't a very big surprise though, because its exact spelling is relatively rare, since most people spell my name "Nathaniel" instead of "Nathanael." What WAS weird was that the database-thing didn't have just "Nate."

  13. Wow, My name was really really popular in the 1880's... second to Mary. Since then, it hasn't been extremely common, although I've met a few Annas in my life time. My sisters names, Audrey and Margot, were never really that popular though. They were popular-ish in the 1930's.
