I will have to say that it was NOT popular when I picked it back in July 07! But it seemed to blow up after that and then it was too late, I had already had some things monogrammed!!
Here's a website that I think is a lot of fun, especially if you are trying to come up with baby names. It's the Social Security popular baby names website: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/
You can list the most popular names in the US for any year all the way back to 1879. You can make a chart showing how the popularity of a name has changed over the years.
Will's name (William) was number 8 in 2007. I actually didn't plan on going with something that common, but we wanted to name him after my grandpa.

Hmm...it looks like Jack has gotten less popular over the past 3 years although I would have never guessed that because I feel like wherever I turn there's another little Jack! Over the weekend I heard a parent calling a baby boy Jack and just today at CHOM there was a little boy with "Jack" on his shirt. I feel like there are Jacks everywhere. LOL
