The popularity of Bonnie is graphed here.  (The alternative spelling of 'Bonny' first charted in 1933 and then returned in 1940 for 24 years, never reaching higher than #608.)  Let's take a look at Kristen. 

Kristen.  Liked by baby-boomer parents.  LOVED by Gen-X parents.   She spent 29 years (1969-1997) in the top 100, peaking at #33 in 1982.  Twenty-three years later, she tumbles off the chart.
