Fun with numbers, kids!

Right, so, I like numbers. And I like kids. This fun number-crunching graph tracks baby-names via Social Security Administration information for the past gazillion years. This is fun because your name is probably on there. Try it out: NameVoyager Through this website of genius I have learned that my birth was a catalyst for the great overpopulation of Hannahs in the world. In the '70s my name was pretty much non-existent. But, in exactly 1980 the graph takes a sudden hike, such that by 1993 my name was the 4th most popular girl's name (ugh). In conclusion, the statistics totally prove that this is due to my existence. Note: I would like to apologize for something. If I had never been born, the world might not have had to endure Hannah Montana and her shitty music and ridiculous show, never mind the fact that her father (Billy Ray Cyrus, in case you don't own a tv) has managed to stay on the radar for this long. That said, I certainly cannot take credit for the Jonas Brothers. Raise your hand if you predict a spike in the name Jonas in the next few years... (Oh dear god...)
