    How would you know if your name is not on the list? And how would you know anyway?

    You must have a very unusual name.

    It's not that unusual, just not on the list of most popular names. But I don't get how you anything other than guess at what your name would be.

    My name would be Milo. But I don't give the site much credence. I was born in 1960, and it says my 1960s name would be Kurt. Why wouldn't my 1960s name be my actual name? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

    The site is averaging the popularity of the entire decade where your name was for the individual year.

  • My name would be Frankie.  It would need to be a nickname.  Frankie isn't on my country's list of allowed baby names, but similar names on the list are Fran, Franca, Francamarina, Frances, Francesca, Francia, Francina, Francine and Francisca.

    That doesn't seem right that a County can say what name a child can be named. Is there a penalty if the parents name their child something that is not allowed? Cheers!

  • I don't know if there's a penalty because I don't have kids.  I think that the government won't issue a social security number until a legal name is chosen.  If the parents want a name that's not on the list they're allowed to petition to give their baby a name of their choice.  I think that in recent times most petitions are being approved.
