But you'll be bucking a major trend. The NSW government have just launched a nifty little application (built on Adobe Flex) which visualises trends in baby names over the past 100 years.

Playing with 100 years of Baby Names reveals that:
- Angus and Hamish have both skyrocketed since 1960
- If your name is Gavin, you were extremely likely to have been born around 1970
- Kylie and Charlene have very similar profiles
- Tayla > Taylah > Taylor
- In the ever popular (but, now, probably sadly dated) Angelina vs. Jen debate, Angelina is winning hands down.
