What does 15 years of baby name data tell us about modern Britain?

What does 15 years of baby name data tell us about modern Britain? | News | guardian.co.uk
By Anna Powell-Smith:
"If you are a parent, or soon to be a parent, you may already have discovered the US's Baby Name Voyager. It's a data-visualization classic, a wonderful way to bring 100 years of American baby names to life....So I built a web app called, imaginatively, England & Wales Baby Names. Just like the Voyager, you can look up names for your own children and see naming trends. You can quickly search through the 27,000 names used by parents since 1996, and see the exact number of babies given each name every year since 1996."
