I found this cool generator on Time.com... you type in your name, your gender, and the year you were born, and it generates what you would have been named in different decades based on the popularity of your name the year you were born!  It's really fun, so I thought I'd share!

 

http://time.com/3856...ame-popularity/

 

Here are my results:

 

My name, Meghan, was the 111th most popular name in 1995, my birth year.  Based on that...

- If I were born today, I'd be Rylee.

- If I were born in the 2000's, I'd be Rachael.

- If I were born in the 1980's, I'd be Sonya.

- If I were born in the 1970's, I'd be Leigh.

- If I were born in the 1960's, I'd be Marlene.

- If I were born in the 1950's, I'd be Debbie.

- If I were born in the 1940's, I'd be Lena.

- If I were born in the 1930's, I'd be Lorene.

- If I were born in the 1920's, I'd be May.

- If I were born in the 1910's, I'd be Wanda.

- If I were born in the 1900's, I'd be Cecilia.

- If I were born in the 1890's, I'd be Carolyn.

 

I was surprised by Rylee, but I like Lena, May, Cecilia, and Carolyn!

 

Hope you guys have fun with this!

awesome! :) I did it with first and middle.

 

If I were born today, I'd be Rowan London.

 

2000's - Alysa Jordyn

1990's - Martika Linda

1980's - Tomeka Janet

1970's - Tiffani Peggy

1960's - Maribeth Jan

1950's - Lona Lucille

1940's - Dovie Dora

1930's - Walter Madeline

1920's - Juliet Susie

1910's - Alverta Isabel

1900's - Robert Sophie

1890's - Izora Delia

 

I had to laugh at Walter and Robert! <3

 

Of the individuals, I wouldn't mind being Rowan, Maribeth, Lucille, Juliet, or Izora. And, actually I wouldn't mind being Walter when I think about it.

 

Of the combos, I like Maribeth Jan, Lona Lucille, Walter Madeline, and Juliet Susie. And if you're going to use Robert, Sophie is a good pair, lol :D

 

Now, I'll do it with my pen name. :) [Senna Lenore Joel Scott]

 

If I were born today, I'd be Alli Ashly Aniah.

 

2000's - Dyamond Jerrica Malina

1990's - Catharine Jeanie Kasha

1980's - Khadijah Jerilyn Sebrina

1970's - Billi Marchelle Jacquelynn

1960's - Lorilee Dierdre Sherron

1950's - Blondell Vanda Maxcine

1940's - Tressa Mariellen Lajuana

1930's - Venice Marvella Leoma

1920's - Carry Thea Onalee

1910's - Lucyle Ivery Girlie

1900's - Beckie Antonietta Zenia

 

1890's - Eular Carmelite Almer

 

Wow, those are bad!

 

The singles I wouldn't mind being named are Aniah, Kasha, Tressa, Mariellen, Venice, Thea, and Eular.

Don't like any of the combos, but if I had to pick one I'd say Venice Marvella Leoma as it does have an elegant touch.

 

Girlie is so sad for a name!

Doing my first & middle name (b. 1996). Karina ranked 108th, Yasmin ranked 407th.

Today: Trinity Alejandra
2000s: Asia Giovanna
1990s: Barbara Lana
1980s: Sonia Monika
1970s: Shawna Jolie
1960s: Carole Marva
1950s: Maxine Lindsay

Only name I wouldn't mind being called is Maxine Lindsay. Individually, I only like Barbara, Lana (didn't like how they flowed together) and Jolie. This was fun, I might just do some other family members' names just for fun :D

I do quite like Maxine Lindsay, and I'm not a fan of Lindsay as a name. Very lovely! And Barbara is nice, Barbara Jolie would have been a sweet combo <3

I'm going to do it again, but change the year of my birth.

 

If I were born today, I'd be R.

 

2000's - 

1990's - 

1980's - 

1970's - 

1960's - 

1950's - 

1940's - 

1930's - 

1920's -

1910's - 

1900's - 

1890's - 

 

If I were born today, I'd be Kaliyah Brielle.

 

2000's - Emerald Joanna

1990's - Vicky Tracy

1980's - Ursula Shauna

1970's - Alberta Marsha

1960's - Sherryl Lee

1950's - Albertha Stella

1940's - Adelina Antoinette

1930's - Hazle Annette

1920's - Cleora Isabelle

1910's - Ettie Marcella

1900's - Nena Mayme

1890's - Vonnie Katharine

 

I wouldn't mind being Adelina Antoinette at all, or Ettie Marcella. Maybe even Cleora Isabelle.

 

Now, with my pen name.

 

If I were born today, I'd be Brystol Abigayle Baylor.

 

2000's - August Briza Kelsy

1990's - Cera Margot Ebonee

1980's - Cheree Roshanda Karey

1970's - Lamonica Jacque Shirlene

1960's - Cammy Darryl Charlie

1950's - Soledad Elna Catheryn

1940's - Marcelene Dalia Celesta

1930's - Margeret Claribel Armella

1920's - Rosena Cuba Allegra

1910's - Ilo Eller Echo

1900's - Alsie Stacie Roseanna

1890's - Babette Rosaline Pearlee

 

Okay. This isn't accurate. But still fun. It said both Senna and Lenore were #585 in 1996, but in reality #585 was Catalina...so I changed the year again for Lenore.

 

I wouldn't mind being Rosena, Allegra, Ilo, Eller, Echo, Alsie, Babette, or Rosaline. I particularly like Ilo and Alsie.

 

I want to do this for boys, so I'll use my nephew's name:

 

If Fisher Hugo were born today, he'd be Finnley Saul.

 

2000's - Canyon Keven

1990's - Corry Shelton

1980's - Kalvin Shelton

1970's - Gentry Chandler

1960's - Verlin Audie

1950's - Delvin Enoch

1940's - Orlin Prince

1930's - Linden Murphy

1920's - Belton Alois

1910's - Waverly Son

1900's - Cap Jordan

1890's - Lucy Dawson

 

Finlay Saul/Finley Saul would be super handsome. I actually love that. 

 

Gentry Chandler is nice, and Orlin Prince is spunky. Linden Murphy sounds like a modern boys' name, very handsome. I also strangely love Cap Jordan. I like Verlin, Audie, and Enoch as singles.

 

Crazy to think that Lucy was on boys 100 something years ago. I do like it as a nickname for Lucius.

What a fun idea! I'm doing both my first name (Victoria) and middle name (Elizabeth), which the year I was born were number 42 and number 10, respectively. So...

 

 

- If I were born today, I'd be Penelope Charlotte

- If I were born in the 2000's, I'd be Catherine Megan

-If I were born in the 1990's, I'd be Monica Danielle

- If I were born in the 1980's, I'd be Lori Christina 

- If I were born in the 1970's, I'd be Margaret Kelly 

- If I were born in the 1960's, I'd be Suzanne Cheryl 

- If I were born in the 1950's, I'd be Marie Janet

- If I were born in the 1940's, I'd be Marlene Joan

- If I were born in the 1930's, I'd be Emma Dolores

- If I were born in the 1920's, I'd be Bessie Marie

- If I were born in the 1910's, I'd be Jennie Ethel 

- If I were born in the 1900's, I'd be Maggie Emma 

- If I were born in the 1890's, I'd be Daisy Annie

 

The only combo I really like is Penelope Charlotte, though Monica Danielle and Margaret Kelly aren't so bad. Individual names I like are Catherine, Emma, Daisy, and Annie. I do think it's interesting that Emma and Marie were repeated, though they showed up once as first names and once as middle names.

Individually, I like Leilani and Selena. Donald Loma is just...bad. Lol. Don't understand why someone would name a girl Donald, But that's their style I guess :P Loma reminds me of Lima beans. Icie Tinnie is pretty bad too. Tinnie is okay, but together they're horrible :D But, I honestly think Pinkie is the worst. It reminds me of Pinky finger/toe and someone who loves Pink, haha.

- If he were born in the 1920'she'd be Solomon.

- If he were born in the 1910'she'd be Reginald.

- If he were born in the 1900'she'd be Earle.

- If he were born in the 1890'she'd be Dick.

 

I like Kelvin and Simon.

Our sibset if we were born today would be Grace, Aiza, Abigail, and Jaden OR our sibset if we were born in the 1890's would be Cora, Clevie, Bessie, and Dick.

(I prefer our original sibset lol)

There wasn't enough data for my first name because of the different spelling, so I went with the more common spelling.

Today: Alexa Addie

1990s: Angelica Kayleen

I'm not a huge fan of any of the combos--if I had to choose a favorite it would be Julia Marivel. 

 

I also did my sisters name because it's a little more popular.
