Favourite Name of Each Decade - Drop Your Least Favourite

holly6174 · November 23, 2019, 6:36am

I thought it would be fun to do a “favourite name from each decade” game where each poster drops their least favourite name from the top 20 boys and girls names from each decade until just one is left. When one decade is finished the next poster can start with the next decade. The top names in each decade (in the US) can be found here: Top names of the 2010s

Starting with the 1880s
