Warning: Do not go to this site.
It's a Java-based graph of baby name trends from the past century. Turns out that "Tray" never made it into the top 1,000, but that "Trey" saw a dramatic increase from the '70s through today.
Sounds dull? Just try it. I swear, you'll be quickly hooked.

Oh my God, this is ridiculously addictive. I've been typing in trendy baby names for 45 minutes, trying to find spikes in the chart. If you try president's last names, I've found, you tend to have the baby names become exceedingly popular during their terms. "Roosevelt" was really, really big in the '30s, as you might imagine. Hell, "Delano" made it on the list then. This is wacky. It's like crack.
