According to the Social Security Administration here are the stats for the popularity of the male first name Paul for boys born in every year since 1990:
| Year of birth | Rank |
|---|---|
| 2004 | 128 |
| 2003 | 124 |
| 2002 | 118 |
| 2001 | 109 |
| 2000 | 100 |
| 1999 | 95 |
| 1998 | 89 |
| 1997 | 79 |
| 1996 | 78 |
| 1995 | 71 |
| 1994 | 64 |
| 1993 | 56 |
| 1992 | 55 |
| 1991 | 53 |
| 1990 | 49 |
| Note: Rank 1 is the most popular, rank 2 is the next most popular, and so forth.You did not specify the sex for the name Paul, sowe used male data based on popularity.Name data are from Social Security card applications for births thatoccurred in the United States. | |
Now according to the US Census Bureau in the 1990 census Paul was the 13th most common name with 0.948% of the sample population having that name.
Ok with that many Paul?s and it?s declining popularity over the last 15 years I think it?s time to recognise the pick of the crop.
I?ve introduced the Paul of the Day category to highlight top Pauls.
