Names of the Future

Just speculating.

The 10 most popular names of 1951 and 2010, based on the Social Security Administration's statistics. What will things look like 50 years from now?

Hehe. Love some of those future names. :)

But now I know why EVERYONE in my generation has an Uncle Bob.

"Ohai" I can totally see. =^.^=

I'm wondering about some of them, but I suppose I can see them with a fairly lengthy time-frame.

Somehow I always have an easier time guessing the most common male names. I had no idea "Linda" was ever that popular. But "Deborah" was no surprise, at least if you count alternate spellings: My mom, born late in 1950, had a class with seven other Debbies.

Anakin? Not unless the future has a much greater appreciation of the prequel trilogy. And we'll probably never like the leader of the Uruk-hai very much.
