Top 20 Names Lists

For the Top 20 Lists, we turn things around, instead of displaying statistics for a specific name, here we show the top names for a given characteristic or category, like by state or length of a name. For example, the Top 20 most popular names in the State of New York or Top 20 names that have only two letters.

it has been more than a year since the last Top 20 post. So what's the hold up? We have been hard at work on another project. The website is also a data-centric but unrelated to names and onomastics.

If you are a runner then the new site may interest you www.Meteor.Run. It is a website of ratings, reviews and statistics of running events and races in US and Canada. The stats are based on past editions of the events and each one is compared to a baseline made up of other events of the same distance. We hope you will check it out!

As for MyNameStats.com we are beginning the planning process for a full upgrade where we plan to implement many of same features developed for the running site. In the mean time, please enjoy our latest Top-20 post, Top 20 Most Popular Names that are Car Names.
