I'd like to know whether names are popular because of their theme, eg biblical, or a famous namesake. Parents aren't asked, so there's no real data.

what surprises and annoys me is Briton's willingness to name their children shortened versions of existing names, it's lazy, so many Archies and Alfies, ugh.

Sorry to be the guy on HN complaining about scrolljacking on the article, but this has to be one of the worst I’ve seen. Text is cut off near the bottom of the description, but if I scroll down to see it, it jumps to the next “slide” and I am unable to read it :( (on a iphone 11)
