Christian Name Commonality

By standardising the spelling and abbreviations, it is possible to determine the number of instances of occurence of christian names - taking the only the first name when an individual has multiple christian names. Dividing by the number of individuals of the same gender allows a separate comparison of the commonality of male and female names. Two types of analysis have been conducted: Census records These give the total Glanville population, containing all males named in say, the previous 80 or so years, plus wifes whose names were given at their own birth by non-Glanville parents. Thus this answers the question "What names did living Glanvilles have at that time?" Birth records These give only the names given by Glanville parents within the timeframe of the analysis Thus this answers the question "What names were given to Glanville children at that time?" Electoral Roll & Telephone Directory As this excludes young people it only partially answers the question "What names did living Glanvilles have at that time?". Being conducted in recent years it is assumed spelling is deliberate and names frequencies are "watered down" by virtue of deliberate spelling variants such as William, Will, Billy, Willie, Bill

1999

For Glanvil(le) names (all people living) by 1999 (excluding individuals aged under 16), the following was found:- 184 different male names were found, with 312 female names. These numbers are less certain than earlier as unisex names are starting to appear (e.g. Terry, Jay, Dee, Toni), immigrant names of uncertain gender, as well as deliberate (assumed deliberate from the fact that literacy is higher than in the 1800s) spelling variations that ought not to be normalised (e.g. Brigit, Brigitte, Bridget). Additionally the source for this was not a census but a combination of Electorall Roll and Telephone Directory - and as such people had a different approach to the formality on how they wish to appear (e.g. Natasha, Tasha, Tash; Reginald, Reg, Reggie). 73 of the mens names were found only once - 40% of their names 154 of the womans names were found only once - 49% of their names 1 Given the elimination of girls under 16, and Glanville-born women married to other men, you're left mostly with woman married to Glanville men - and thus one might use this table to support a hypothesis that prior to 1999 Glanville men had a genetic predisposition to marry woman named Margaret ! ! !

1999 All Surnames

This table shows names registered by the whole (National) population, not just those by Glanville parents. This information is published by the Office of National Statistics Top National First Names by Year, for England/Wales 1904 1934 1964 1994 1999   Males 1st William John David Thomas Jack 2nd John Peter Paul James Thomas 3rd George William Andrew Jack James 4th Thomas Brian Mark Daniel Daniel 5th Arthur David John Matthew Joshua   Females 1st Mary Margaret Susan Rebecca Chloe 2nd Florence Jean Julie Lauren Emily 3rd Doris Mary Karen Jessica Megan 4th Edith Joan Jacqueline Charlotte Jessica 5th Dorothy Patricia Deborah Hannah Sophie Note the distinction between the earlier analyses which were on everyone alive in those years, and the ONS figures which show the commonality of new names being registered to infants in that year only (and hence cannot be compared directly).
