For those keeping track of such things, the 2005 baby name stats are up on the Social Security website. Francis dropped two places in the rankings and now sits as the 527th most popular newborn boy's name in America, while Theodore crept up slightly to close at 305. Both names are still far from trendy. The big winner according to the New York Times is Nevaeh, a girls name made up of heaven spelt backwards; in only a few years it's come from nowhere to take slot 70 for the girls.

>>Can Sicnarf and Erodoeht be far behind?
Only if you can get a Christian rockstar to name his/her kids by those names :-)
--Arabrab (my Middle Eastern alter ego)
Silas has gone from a low of 967 in 1990 all the way up to 412 in 2005! You never know how things will turn around.
'Dog' willing, that nonsense won't be too much of a trend. Prince couldn't get that glyph thing to catch on either. However, if it does catch on, I suppose the next logical new trend after that would be your baby's name as a cryptoquote or word jumble.
-Secnarf (the feminine version)
"Alethea" (my given name) wasn't in the top 1000 for any year. Imagine that.
