There was a time when name generators were the thing.  In the early 2000s, a few strokes on the keyboard and you were magically given your Wu-Tang Clan name or Porn Star name.  It was random, but fun.  For five minutes.

Time Magazine is upping the name-generator ante, with a feature they've posted called "Find Out What Your Name Would Be if You Were Born Today."  It looks up the popularity of your name from the year you were born, and finds which names rank in that spot today.  Even cooler, you can find out what your name would have been in other decades, as well.

So... what would my name(s) be?  I will be using my given spelling and the traditional spelling, respectively.  Let's take a gander!
