Abstract |
We investigate the popularity of given names in United States, 1880-2011. The data are taken from the website of U.S. Social Security Administration. We demonstrate that the fashion of naming babies after the actual American president passed away in 60’s. Yet, the fashion of naming babies after a favourite actor or actress persists. A new index is proposed to treat the effect quantitatively. |
