hmmm mine has been steadily climbing 958th in 1986 to 257th last year. I guess before 1986 my name wasn't in the top 1000 so no data for those years. I've only met one or two others who share my name, so I know its not that usual - though it sounds like there may be more and more kiddies running around out there with it these days.

Cynthia - not so popular now but is was #25 the year I was born.
Cindy - my less favorite out of Cynthia and Cindy, but nevertheless what I am called by the masses
- even less popular.
The name thing reminded me of a couple of things-
When I was little I wanted to be called Eileen because of this song:

Now I am thankful my mom refused to change my name. Whew.
I also wanted to be a long haul truck driver because of this TV show:

Anyone remember that hit? We used to sneak out to my dads old chevy and mess around on the CB for hours.
It really is good that some of our youthful desires don't work out for us!!

My name was #26 when I was born, and has steadily declined to #946 now. If they went by the pronunciation of my name in addition to the spelling, it would never make the list.

I just got up off the floor from laughing so hard - I watched the whole clip. I definitely remember BJ and the Bear! So funny I just sent it to DH for his amusement. I know he remembers it too.

Shall we three tour the countryside with a monkey in an 18 wheeler someday? I promise I won't make you call me Eileen!
