Name Highlights of 2005 - Boys

Here are some statistics based on last year's name popularities. To explain better: Say in 2004, there were 400 babies named BUFORD. In 2005, there were 800 babies named Buford. That represents an 100% increase, because there were twice as many as the previous year. Now let's pretend that there were only 200 babies named Buford in 2005. That would be a -50% decrease, since there were only half as many with that name. Make sense?

We have the same info for GIRLS' NAMES too.
