Google Sets

Hmmm...

Smart stuff showcased at the Google Labs site.

Google Sets "Automatically create sets of items from a few examples."

Example: type in 'Harpo' and 'Groucho', Google Sets completes the family for you.

So now I'm wondering if we could use this to help us narrow down our choice of baby names for the imminent third sprog...?

Enter: 'Michael', 'Leona', 'Charlie', 'Lily'...

Perhaps not.

Wonder if this list would be of any interest to Mr. Turner...?

Oh - nearly forget to mention: the excellent Blake pointed me to this site - the Social Security Administration's records of popular baby names in the U.S., tracked since 1990. Handy for cross-checking if you want to try to pick an uncommon name for your new weeun.

Also entertaining to track pop culture and other influences on the rankings. 'Luke', for example, is still climbing. 'George', on the other hand, appears to be suffering a reverse (while 'Bill', of course, ceased to register at all after 1993).
