This is it! I have loved going through these "old" names and seeing where they stand now. We are definitely finishing this series with a bang! Don't forget to check out the blog next week as I take a look at all the posts and do a final analysis on the Top 100 of 1911. Here are the final twenty names...

1911 #91-100

91 Harvey - #862 (returning in 2011 after falling out of the Top 1000 for 12 years, after rising to #85)
92 Sidney - #896 and falling (after rising to #80)
93 Irving - fell off the Top 1000 after 2005 (after falling out of the Top 1000 sporadically and then rising to #523)
94 Alexander - #8 and falling (after falling to #233 and then rising to #4)
95 Homer - fell off the Top 1000 after 1983
96 Vernon - fell off the Top 1000 after 2003 (after rising to #65)
97 Gordon - fell off the Top 1000 after 2008 (after rising to #71)
98 Allen - #318 and steady (after falling to #105 and then rising to #71)
99 Maurice - #460 and falling
100 Luther - fell off the Top 1000 after 1994

91 Cora - #204 and rising (after falling to #878)
92 Rosa - #624 and falling
93 Genevieve - #232 and rising (after rising to #76 and then falling to #691)
94 Lula - fell off the Top 1000 after 1965
95 Charlotte - #27 and rising (after rising to #47 and then falling to #311)
96 Georgia - #305 and steady (after falling to #724)
97 Ada - #494 and rising (after falling out of the Top 1000 for 15 years)
98 Jane - #368 and rising (after rising to #35 and then falling to #477)
99 Inez - fell off the Top 1000 after 1976
100 Theresa - fell off the Top 1000 after 2010 (after falling to #109 and then rising to #32)

Alexander is the standout on the boy side, making it's way up to the Top 10 after falling to #233 over the past 100 years. Another notable is Harvey, reentering the Top 1000 after disappearing off the list for 12 years... will the rise continue? And while the name is no longer on the Top 1000 chart and therefore has no bearing in the "100 year rule," I was captivated by Irving, which jumped over 400 spots in 1988 after being out of the Top 1000 for a bit. Not sure why it made such a leap and was so sporadic there for a bit, but it has since fallen off the charts and doesn't look to return any time soon.

I am absolutely in love with the girl names in this group. Whether they are coming back or not, they are all fascinating and beautiful names. Charlotte is a perfect contender to represent the "100 year rule," while Cora is making its presence known with the help of the British show Downton Abbey (the character of Cora is American). Genevieve is a gem that looks to keep rising and maybe Georgia will start on the up in the coming years. Ada reentered the Top 1000 in 2004 after not showing for 15 years and made huge strides to reach #494 in 2011. Then there is Jane, which will always be my all-time favorite name and will hopefully continue the slow rise back to the Top 100. And could Lula make a return in 2012?

See you next week!
