Baby naming
Wow, this is a really interesting resource, for parents and writers. It confirms that it’s really possible to place many people into an age group by their first name, which is something you hardly ever think about. But people tend to be really good at abstracting stereotypes based on visible qualities, and stereotyping someone’s age from their name is one example of that.
My name is the second most common for my decade. First is Michael, third is Matthew. It’s funny how so many people think they’re naming their kid something unusual, only for it to be in the top ten.
