Mass_SkinsFan Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 "Scott" was the 17th most popular name for boys in the 1970's. That's the most popular it's ever been. Kind of interesting and ironic considering my birthday is 7-17-74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He was raised Catholic) I didn't have too much choice in the matter! Of course I kept it going with my son,(We call him by his middle name though) so maybe the name will stay up there in the top 10.

ashburnskinsfan Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 My name was not in the top 1000 names in any decade. At least my name is unique and original. My son's name (Gordon) was popular in the 1930's.Name Voyager Way off topic, but you may want to get a copy for Gordon of the punk/new wave spoof from 1978 by an English comedian Graham Fellows under the name Jilted John (song titled Jilted John) that became a cult classic. There's even a video of a performance on the BBC's Top of The Pops on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0XbPsRCCYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
