This post is fascinating. I may want to look into some of these name-only contests. One quick favor to ask--how?
Kitt--I agree! I find it so strange when I hear of a girl named Elisha. How do you pronounce it? I've heard e-LIH-sha, e-LYE-sha, and e-LEE-sha, and I don't know what it's supposed to be. (Nice new handle though! I think that if I were to name a daughter Catherine, I would choose Kitty as a nickname. I've been drawn to it ever since reading Pride and Prejudice.) Anyone think Madelyn will rise thanks to its publicity due to Obama's late grandmother? Or maybe it'll rise only in relation to the name's alternative spellings (Madeleine, Madalyn, etc.)? Are there any names that have done that--one spelling has risen in relation to the other(s) as a result of its exposure to the public? All I can think of is Hillary, which rose relative to Hilary while Clinton was gaining publicity. In totally unrelated news...I met my first Kadin the other day (boy, about seven years old) as well as my first Iggy (about six)--I wonder if it's short for Ignatius?
