Well who the hell names their kid RishiS anyway?

My parents apparently. :confused:

Actually, Rishi is a very popular Indian name. I personally know about 3 or so other Rishis.

Whoops, :eek:, I didn't know that was your real name, sorry...

haha. party foul. :)

i met this guy name rishis today playing soccer ... there are a lot of indian people in the bay area

Well he probably didn't have the 's' at the end of his first name. :) I was actually named after a famous Indian actor at the time, Rishi Kapoor.

My given first name, Anthony, is top 20 so far as data goes back.

My chosen first name, Tony, is thankfully decreasing in popularity as more and more

Rank 12 for 2000. It sucks having a popular name, people have to start reffering you to your first and last initial.

Hi, I'm Ryan version R.

Note: Rank 1 is the most popular, rank 2 is the next most popular, and so forth. We could not provide data for the number of years you requested (99) because the earliest year for which we have data is 1990.



cool. in a way. my name is #1 most years and #2 at the least. :( sure feel unique now.

8th place was the best and 19th was the worst in the time span given.

I think among the most popular first names are (in this order)

1. A-hole
2. Byeatch (and its variations)
3. Dude
4. Mofo
5. the "N" word
6. Dawg
7.
8.
9.
10.

I can't think for the moment.

Huh. Mine's #44 and I'm still thinking it's way too common. I'm sick of running across people with the same name, it gets confusing. :p
