The Name Geek.

It's a site I made personally which unfortunately never caught on. We calculated average ages based on the birth totals from each year plus actuarial tables.

I like this site! I'm looking up everyone in my family to see how "normal" we are, lol.

Pretty easy. I just avoided names of students I’ve had in the past ten years. Only Mary and Juniper didn’t work with that strategy.

Oliver gives a red rectangle, but Harold gives a red flag. What's the difference?

A red flag means you right clicked to flag an option as incorrect for yourself.

How does one use that option on mobile devices? We don’t have right click here!

I was avoiding Dwight because I thought there would be a bunch of millennial Office fans who named their kids after characters

I’m 55 and I was mad that you were calling me old. Then I got an easy 5 points because I saw all my friends names!

Funny that the youngest name is the most guessed whammie. Guess they're still so young people don't realize its a young name because they haven't met them yet.

That's the only one I missed! It's easily top 5 for baby girls up here in Québec. I thought maybe it was a youngster name in the US as well.

I am shocked I got 100% on the first try, I went in expecting like 50-60% max. Juniper almost got me, I assumed it was either an old person name or one of those fancy Milennial parent names.

Somehow got 29 despite never living in an English speaking country. Funny how you can sometimes subconsciouosly know things that you're not really supposed to.

Just had to go through my extended family tree of uncles, aunts & cousins. My own name was a correct answer & I appreciate it was spelled with only one 'N'....surprised that 'Ardythe', 'Edith', 'Edna', 'Laray', 'Lorraine', 'Ida' didn't make the list (my mother & her sisters). They all lived into their late 80s/90s except Ida who lived to 105.

You are selling a life insurance policy. The only information you have is that the first name of the insuree is "Earl". How much do you charge?

Hmm.... I thought this one was going to be difficult. But, being old as dirt, I ran the table.
