More on the name thing
A few posts ago I recommended a name-tracking website that's full of interesting play possibilities. Type in "Madge" and watch the whole thing tilt to the 1880s! Try "Desmond" or "Jude" and watch these late upstarts soar! Try "Llewellyn" and watch in bafflement as it plunges completely off the lists for one year, then rebounds to its former height, resulting in a very volcano-shaped graph.
But, thanks to NPL colleagues Rick Rubinstein and Eric Albert, I pass on this truly strange one: Type in NEVAEH. (Yes, it's "Heaven" backwards.) And here's the explanation, insofar as one is possible.

Some other interesting things discovered at this site: I confirmed that Madison launched as a girl's name in the 1980's (with the movie Splash!), and now is more popular than it ever was as a boy's name. Also, the use of the name Ford fell out of favor in the 1930s, I presume because it became identified with the car manufacturer.
I never admitted to anyone that my middle name is Serutan
