This makes me happy.

Short post. Mainly because I'm not sure how to write out how this all works.

Let's just say, UK statistics from 1550-2007. Ranks. Graphs.

Grace:

Isabel:How to read the graphs:

Y (Left hand) axis = rank. #1 is most popular. If there is a gap then the name doesn't rank for that year. Lack of information for the early years means that I can't calculate % so the Mary graph is rather boring.

X axis = year. There are gaps in information from 1690-1840, and 1910-44 so that is why there are long straight joining lines between each.

They're not perfect. But they're decent, they're better than what there is already for the UK. And they make me happy.

Now, does anyone know where there are stats for the 1700s and interwar period?
