Random Top 10 List - Top 10 boys names 1900s & 2000s

July 20th, 2008 | by admin |

Below are the most popular names of boys from the 1900s (1900-1909) and the 2000s (2000-2008 ytd).

Rank	1900s	2000s
1	John	Jacob
2	William	Michael
3	James	Joshua
4	George	Matthew
5	Charles	Andrew
6	Robert	Christopher
7	Joseph	Joseph
8	Frank	Daniel
9	Edward	Nicholas
10	Thomas	Ethan

Note, Joseph is the only boy’s name that ranked in the top 10 for both decades although it was absent from the top 10 from 1940-1979. I would have expected to see more of the classic names like John, William and Robert in the 2000s. Oh yeah, check out my list of the best selling toys of 2008 here.
