What were the most popular names for children born in 1959?
It seems that I read recently that the most popular girls name was "Carol". I hope someone knows the answer to this one. It would be interesting to know.

Reply:Judy. I work in an office where there have been 4 Judy's working here in the past 5 years; 2 of them are still here. They're all about the same age; I can't say they were born in 1959 exactly, but I know it was the '50s.





What an odd question lol.
