Michael has been the most popular name for more years than any other.
From 1999 to 2005, Jacob has been number 1 with Michael number 2 in the most popular boy's names list.
In 1998 Michael was in the top spot and Jacob was second.
Michael was number 1 for many years as a matter of fact since 1961. From 1954 to 1959 Michael was the most popular. Michael came in 4th in 1952 and 3rd in 1953. #1 for a total of 44 years.
In 1960 David was the most popular boy's name.
Robert was the most popular from 1924 to 1939 and 1953.
James was the most popular from 1940 to 1952.
John was the most popular from 1900 to 1923. At least every even numbered year - I did not check every odd year.
