  • Sanden Sharon (Styles Unlimited) Youngsville Pa
The popularity of Sharon as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at grandson Trevor.


After a halting, unimpressive start, Trevor rocketed into the top 300 and later spent 18 years (1986-2003) in the top 100, peaking at #58 in 1994.  He's turning out to be something of a late 20th-century flash in the pan.
