My name, Esther, peaked in popularity in the 1900s. It’s rank was 33. Today, it ranks at 304.
Well, let’s see. There’ve never been that many "Ellen"s I’ve known, although there was another girl with the same first name & last intitial in my class all through elementary school.
By decade:
64 72 81 89 100 98 64 81 119 232 252 244 498
sigh Had a few decent decades there, but then…oh well.

Ranking by decade: 526 - 506 - 594 - 588 - 722 - not in top 1000 from 30s to 50s - 892 - 662 - 451 - 327 - 286
I was born in 1979, so my mom was a bit ahead of the curve. Although it’s still not ridiculously common by any means - about 280 per million births, or 0.028% of births.
My immediate family:[ul]
[li] sister - Natalie - ranked 55 in the 80s when she was born, but now ranked 19![/li][li] brother - Simon - ranked 356 in the 90s when he was born, now ranked 256.[/li][li] Mother - Marie - ranked 88 in the 50s, now ranked 496. I think this one is a bit odd, because it seems like 90% of my friends growing up (in the 80s) had Marie as their middle name. I guess it isn’t nearly as popular for a first name?[/li] Father - Emery - 654 in the 50s, not in the top 1000s since the 80s [/ul]
According to the chart, mine peaked in the 1930s and by 2004 had declined to only 10% of its peak.
Both Marley and the alternate, ‘yuck’ spelling (in my opinion) Marlee have gotten very popular for girls. In the '80s, neither was on the charts. Now Marlee is close to 800 and Marley is close to 500, both more than 100 kids per million. But it hasn’t made even a dent for guys, so I retain my uniqueness there. 
My younger brothers are not so lucky: the middle one’s name, after being just barely on the charts in the late 19th century and then dropping off, began a comeback in the '60s, was near 500 when he was born in the '80s, got hot in the '90s, and is now inside the top 180. And the youngest one’s name was peaking just as he was born in the early '90s - which really annoyed my parents, who now had two kids with unusual names and one whose name was popping up like crabgrass and would be shared with several kids in school and Little League.
Mine’s always been around (in the top 250 all the way back to the 1880s) but began to gather steam in the 1940s, became seriously popular beginning in the 1950s (#36), and peaked almost exactly at the time of my birth (#15) in 1964, declined only slightly in the 1970s (#17), then began to drop off significantly in the 1980s (#38) and 1990s (#78), so that it’s now back down where it was in the 1930s and before (#214 so far in the 2000s).
My son’s name doesn’t show up until the 1970s, when it burst (relatively speaking) onto the scene at #740, as a result of being the name of a character in an extremely popular movie of the 1960s. It dropped somewhat to #798 in the 1980s, and to #816 in the 1990s (though in absolute terms, occurrences per million births, it grew in the 1990s), and then jumped again so far this decade to #686 (probably a result of its being the name of a very visible member of the first Bush administration).
My first daughter’s name appears in the rankings for the first time this decade, at #778. My second daughter’s name is nowhere to be found (she might well be unique in the U.S. – it’s a Hebrew name that’s not even all that common in Israel).
My name peaked in the '80s, and dropped out of the top 1000 in the 90s. Wasn’t in the top 1000 in the 70s either, and wasn’t seen at all before that. Wonder what happened in the 80s to make it so prevalent?
Max - #164 as of 2004
Cool site with great graphs!
Anyway, my name is one that hasn’t dropped out of the top 25 for the entire time period of the graph, but I was expecting that. It was neat to see that my husband trupa 's real name with its actual spelling peaked in the US about the time he was born. Trusquirt 's name was not popular before the 1960’s, but has been increasing in popularity ever since, particularly in the last 10 years.
