6 decades of the most popular names for girls in the United States, in an animated GIF

(↬ this isn’t happiness)

Oh man check out the Jessica-Ashley War of the 80s and early 90s that took place in the rotting corpse of Jenniferic hegemony, and how both war-weary factions were quickly but messily vanquished by the Emily Confederation in ‘97.

Personally I find the Madison spurt in the south circa the early 2000s sociologically fascinating. And Ava, who knew! That’s the closest thing to my name.

This is even cooler when you think about the things that were happening culturally that lead to these names being popular. 

Can you guess what was popular around 2007 that made “Isabella” an extremely popular name? (Hint: Vampires)
