What Is The Most Rare And Common Year For Your Name?
Curious when your first name was shining brightest—or when it felt like a secret whispered on the wind? This page scans the years we have on file and highlights your name’s peak year (most popular) and its rarest year (smallest positive share). It’s a playful way to move from the big question “how rare is my name?” to a clear timeline: when did it glow, and when did it hide?
Reading Your Results
A high peak year (the most rare year) often reflects cultural stardust including popular songs, films, or trend waves. A tiny rare year feels like a hidden gem: distinctive, memorable, and likely to stand out in a classroom roll call. Neither is “better”, they’re just different flavors of identity. Keep asking yourself “how rare is my name” until the answer feels like a smile.
Tips
- Try alternate spellings (Catherine/Katherine, Aidan/Aiden) and see how the timeline shifts.
- Combine this with our trend chart to see the full curve across time.
Una’s whisper: Names are little comets. May yours streak across the exact year that makes your heart fizz.
