Name your kid something trendy with nametrends.net

If you're a hip and with-it parent-to-be, or just someone who's thinking about getting a dog, you can stop by nametrends.net. Nametrends shows you what the most popular names are, and which ones are moving up and down on the trendiness scale. Want to be original? Don't name your son "Jayden" or your daughter "Addison." Those are so hot right now.

The data on Nametrends is actually impressively deep. Popularity charts go back to 1880, and you can also search by geographic location and similar sounds. You can look up your own name, and check out maps that show its regional popularity over time, or even check out categories as esoteric as "gems." Even if you don't have anyone or anything to name, it's a fun time waster.
