mmcirvinVia Sean Carroll: NameVoyager (Java) is kind of fun, purporting to plot the relative popularity of baby names over the past century (you can type in the upper left to restrict the first letters).
Sean actually posted a screenshot of "Q", which interested me because Sam's cousin's name, Quinton, is far more popular than I realized: I thought it was a peculiar variant spelling of Quentin, but it's actually been almost as popular as Quentin for the past few decades, and seems to have risen and fallen nearly proportionally with Quentin throughout the century.
