It makes sense that this link would exist, given that names used to have meanings, and the meanings were picked based on the social changes and developments, events, etc.
I used this to search potential baby names, to intentionally avoid trendy names and find the unpopular options. It places a name in its position in the top 1000 names on SSA record by year, since 1900.

As I searched potential names and family names, I noticed interesting patterns where some names peaked and came down, others dipped then went back up, and others only appear in the top 1000 for only about 20 years at a time, then drop off. It made me think that there could be a cyclical, generational link in names. Obviously they change over time with language, but over many hundreds of years. In a generational view, we can look back over a full 124 years and see what the patterns are. Birth rates of M vs F is something I'm also curious about that may be interrelated.
