Cleping: Baby Name Wizard's NameVoyager

What matters when choosing a name? Rarity, familiarity, originality? Can naming trends be charted? Looking for an alternative to Heather, Ryan and Blake? Lois, Zulma and Clem aren't being used much these days. As an aside, why are people named April, May and August but not January, February or September? For that matter, are there actually twins named Oranjello and Lemonjello? And does anyone really answer to Joesph? The site tracks only the top 1000 names in any decade -- so no Jerrald, no Conway, no Moose, but it's fascinating anyway. <http://babynamewizard.com/>
