Old first name:
- as female: the peak, of over 20,000, was a decade after I was born, stayed there approximately 15 years and has had a slow decline since
- as male: actually follows a similar curve, but the peak was only over 100
Old middle name:
- as female: the peak, of over 10,000, was between the World Wars, went through a steady decline until a decade before my birth, when it went into a sharp decline
- as male: the peak, of over over 25, was a few years after peaking as a female name, then went through a steady decline until 20 years before my birth and has leveled out at 10+ a year
New first name:
- as male: first peak, of over 10,000, was around my birth, then went through a small dip and peaked again a couple decades later
- as female: similar to the male curve with the two peaks breaking 50 a year
New middle name:
- as male: the peak, of over 2,000, was between the World Wars, went through a sharp decline until just after WWII, when it leveled out for a couple of decades, then went through another sharp decline before leveling out around my birth.
- as female: extremely sporadic, mostly due to the low numbers of women getting this name; the range went from just over 20 in one sample year to none for almost 20 of the sample years
