I thought this GIF was pretty cool. Shows the most popular names of women, by state, by each year for the last few decades. Interesting to see how trends emerge, and they start in one part of the country and then move across it. Lisa's and Jennifer's dominated!

The Jenns had a nice dynasty going in the 70's. I noticed at the end a strong showing for Isabellas, probably followed closely by Marias, Juanitas, and Selenas.

It is nice that so many people are willing to identify themselves as total idiots so we don't have to find out by interacting with them.

Heeeere's your sign!
