Even statisticians smile

I do love the annual report on what people have been naming their brats in the last 12 months. Good to see Daniel still up there in the top 5. Makes me feel less special.

There's a particularly nice write-up of it this year by civil servant, obviously overjoyed at the opportunity to flex their writing muscle.

Yes, I saw this somewhere else too. It always amuses me how there are trends in baby names, especially some of the more hideous ones (why oh why, in this day and age, name a girl Harriet/Hannah/Daisy for example? Or a boy Oliver/Harvey/Harrison? Don't you love your poor children?). Oh well, I suppose I'm just lucky that while my name isn't at all common it isn't horrid either (as so many uncommon names are), while you may rejoice at the swelling of the ranks of Daniels. x

Well, their writing muscle is obviously their penis. Some people should stick to SPSS...
