Baby names

This is such a wonderfully arty-geeky thing: The Baby Name Wizard’s Name Voyager. That mouthful will take you to a Java applet that tracks, graphically, the popularity of baby names over the past 100 years. Fascinating statistics, and they’re presented in a useful and elegant way. Major arty and geeky points to these fine people.

PS Don’t read more into this than what’s plainly up on the screen. I filed it in the “Geek” section for goodness sake!
