I actually recently conducted an analysis of my entire family (including dogs), showing the change in popularity for each name from 1987 to date (and, no, I don't take medication...really!). It was hilarious - and so fun to note those who suffered with very unpopular names as children (ie, my sister Eva) enjoying a surge in popularity (thank you Eva Longoria) of late. My family thought I was nuts, so you can go ahead and judge it too. ;-) I sympathize with you on the Vivienne issue (maybe they'll all spell it like ze french, and your viv can still be unique). I have a girl Jordan, and the year I named her so, all of a sudden there were all these Jordyn and Jordin's. I feel like the appearance of these alternative feminine spellings means everyone will assume that my Jordan is a boy... which really makes me mad!!! LOl to the SSA.gov database of names!!!
