title: Changes in First Name Popularity Across Grades.
abstract: Boys and girls in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 11 (N = 2212) rated the desirability of 179 male and 246 female first names. The popularity of specific first names was found to vary systematically across the grades. The first name preferences of adolescent girls were somewhat different from those of adolescent boys and younger children of both sexes.
