1000 Most popular names of the Decade

I went searching for the orgin of Momz son Sgt. Ben real name.
I found the above...it's interesting to see where your name came from and seeing if it's a popular name now or in the Decade...
I could go under Richard or Ricardo, one is more popular in the last Decade.
I hope that you will find interesting

Michael

Like the Lord. One of the archangels in the Bible.


Ranked #2 of 2001 and #1 of the last decade

Origin: Hebrew

I got stuck with it. My mom wanted to name me Christian(what irony), but since I have an older brother Chris, and an older sister Christi, my dad threw a fit :)

I like my name though. I am pretty particular about it. I will NOT answer to anything other than Michael. No mike, micky, Mickey, none of that.

I'm happy that you were able to find out about your name and where it came from.
I did find Sgt. Ben real name, it's a form of James.

Richard
Brave and strong.

Ranked #78 of 2001 and #41 of the last decade
Ricardo
Ranked #114
But not in the Database
Ironic that it's not in the Database after many seeing "I Love Lucy"
With Ricky Ricardo as Lucy's husband.

Origin: Teutonic
Gender: Boy

Always thought it was from the British that name came from.
As in Richard the Lionheart

We Few that are lucky to be named Richard or Ricardo were born "Rich" and will die "Rich"...

Semper Fidelis/Semper Fi
Ricardo or Richard

Michael, that's me. I'm with HardJedi, its "MICHAEL".

It is odd though that on the occasion that I do talk to myself, I call myself Mike. "Mike, that was pretty freakin' stupid hitting your own thumb with a hammer!" :)

Charles - Teutonic - manly, full grown.
I sure hope I'm full grown. At 250 lbs I should be by now.
I go by Chick, no CHUCK, CHARLIE or anything else.
