Thursday, June 17th, 2010What does your name mean?
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Today I received a message on Facebook that said to go to Urban Dictionary, type in your first name, then paste the first result as your status. Supposedly it will describe your personality to a T. I hate forwards with a passion, but decided to check it out… So I went to the site, typed in Josh and the result was:
Josh is a fun loving guy really funny and can make anyone laugh. He is very quiet at first and seems shy but when you get to know him you will fall in love. He has very good style and always looks handsome. He also always smells really good
Does this describe my personality to a T? I won’t say. But, I did type in some of my friends names and the descriptions were spot on!
Joshua, the 4th most popular name
Sunday, March 7th, 2010Each year it seems like more and more children are being named Joshua or Josh, so I did a little research to see what I could find.

In the table below I show the percent of total males named Joshua in a given year, along with the percentage of males that were named Joshua in that year.
- In 1960 Joshua was the 453rd most popular male name in the united states. That year parents named 0.0146% of male children Joshua. That is only 146 out of 1,000,000 children.
- Compare 1960 to 1985 where Joshua was the 4th most popular name. That year 2.1946% of male children were named Joshua, that is 21,946 out of ever 1,000,000 children.
