      The name I go by was 2 years off, my actual name was way off but that’s a much less common name.

      26 people with my name were born in the same year as me and 25 are still alive. That’s not a lot

      Very cool! You’ve also confirmed my theory that Karen is a boomer name, not gen-x.

      It guessed 2006. I was born in 1986. It was really cool to see how unpopular my name used to be though.

      ETA: I checked my mom’s name and that one was spot on! (Marianne, 1957)

      Seeing all the ones „still alive“ makes it seem like a name competition to the death.

      >Median … born around 1960 and ranges from 27 to 79 years old

      OP to be fair, I am between 27 and 79 years old.

      I think the age discrepancy reflects worse on my parents’ naming choice than it does the tool…

      But really, this is awesome. I’m gonna have a lot of fun with it.

      Yesterday I just happened to watch Stephen Wilson Jr.’s performance of his song „Gary“ on Theo Von’s podcast, and the song is basically premised on this insight, that particular names correspond to generations.

      He sings in the chorus, „There ain’t a lot of boys named Gary these days“ and „Ain’t a lot of girls going by Debbie anymore“. What’s cool is with your website, the data actually checks out:

      * [https://name-age-calculator.randalolson.com/male/gary](https://name-age-calculator.randalolson.com/male/gary) (median of 1958)
      * [https://name-age-calculator.randalolson.com/female/debbie](https://name-age-calculator.randalolson.com/female/debbie) (median of 1960)
