>> The Baby Name Wizard: Name Voyager
Great fun and really interesting, this is the sort of thing the web does much better than print or telly - If there was a British version (this is American) it would be the dog's bee's knees.
The site is an interactive graph charting baby name popularity over the last century. Type in any name to see a new graph illustrating that name's ranking in the thousand most popular names of each of the last 10 decades. You'll learn that Gertrude was most popular between 1900 and 1910 but Miles has never been more popular than it is now (presumably thanks to the Frasier effect).
