If you compare the "high-end" and "low-end" girls' names with the most popular ones overall from 1980 and 2000, you'll see that Lauren and Madison, two of the most popular high-end names from the 1990s, made the overall top-10 list in 2000. Amber and Heather, meanwhile, two of the overall most popular names from 1980, are now among the low-end names.

There is a clear pattern at play: Once a name catches on among high-income, highly educated parents, it starts working its way down the socioeconomic ladder. Amber, Heather, and Stephanie started out as high-end names. For every high-end baby given those names, however, another five lower-income girls received those names within 10 years.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but "Not Without My Handbag" is also the name of an extremely funny animated feature involving a little girl, her dead aunt, the devil, cheap imitations, and too many baked goods.

Looks like a great site.
 

Damn you, Oscar Madison! I just spent ALL DAY reading that site. And tomorrow I want to go back for more, more, more!

What will be your B.O.W. next week? Crack cocaine?
 

Warren,
I'm looking forward to the influx of law students named "Madison."

Allison, see Phantom's comment.

Phantom,
At the risk of sounding like a sicko, I find your comment to be somehow very gratifying.
