Genealogical Tip: Common Names Guide for Beginning Genealogists
by Amanda Forson, WorldVitalRecords.com

Some names are classic, traditional and ever-popular. Other names find popularity and a new life during different decades.

A fun site for checking on the popularity of a name comes from the Social Security Administration’s Popular Baby Names Site. This is a good site for checking the popularity of names going back to 1879.

An interactive site that demonstrates in real-time the popularity of a name from the SSA is found at Name Voyager. This site will probably be the most fun for kids or for playing with during “down-time” at work with co-workers.

Also, it can give helpful ideas for possible names starting with the same letters as other names. For beginning genealogists, starting with the most recent generations, these sites may help with placing non-family names into the context of the time rather than traditions.
