To those who have had to endure the site being offline frequently, that will hopefully come to and end.

					<description><![CDATA[Those who have followed this blog over the last 14 years, or even those more recent to it, may have wondered why I haven&#8217;t been updating it of late. The answer is that I&#8217;ve been busy on a project that has taken up all of my time.

					<description><![CDATA[I recently found a dataset at the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics that shows the number of people born each year with each given name, from 1948 to 2021. I thought it might be interesting to see how names change in popularity over time, but it&#8217;s a massive amount of data, so I came up &#8230; <a href="https://bloodandfrogs.com/2023/02/top-ten-israeli-given-names-from-1948-to-2021.html" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Top Ten Israeli Given Names from 1948 to 2021</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Lists come from books from the 19th and early 20th century, including from Poland in 1886 and 1928, from the US in 1925 and 1939, and the more recent lists of Israeli names.
