Kevin: No Longer a Popular Boy’s Name

The Baby Name Wizard is one of the coolest things on the internet I’ve come across lately. I am without a doubt, late to the party which looks like it launched in 2004. Even though I’m definitely NOT having a child anytime soon, I can’t help but play with the interface for hours on end.

I’m a little suprised to see that “Kevin” is on such a steep decline - however, I’m not suprised in the least that “Kevin” was the 13th most popular first name during the 1970’s. If I had a dime for every Kevin I knew growing up…
