In my 43 years of being on this earth we have seen a lot of changes from our cars, and houses to the things we buy and eat…heck about 10 years ago I would have never bought bottled water, now water is one of my favorite drinks. I would have never thought I would be able to have a phone with me at all times let alone a computer attached to my belt, heck when myspace came around I jumped on it as a chance to promote my radio show to the “new crowd” and thought what could ever be bigger and cooler than myspace. When facebook came into existence I avoided it like the plaque now I post on facebook everyday, It is kind of weird when I don’t. The reason I bring this up is because I was thinking I don’t know any kid named Bob, when I was growing up there where about 15 of us in my class from Rob, to Robby, and Bob to Bobby and don’t forget about Robert. I was born in 1968 and then the top names were Michael, David, John, James and Robert….for the boys and Lisa, Michelle, Kimberly, Jennifer and Melissa for the girls. Number one for 2010 was Jacob for boys and Isabella for girls and Robert was no where in the top 50. Michael is still in the top 5 for boys and none of the girls names from 1968 made it to this generation.
