The popularity of Patricia as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at mother Naomi.


Naomi was a steady performer during most of the 1st half of the 20th century, spending 42 years (1900-1941) in the top 200.  After bottoming out at #420 in 1969 and sliding into a shallow trough in the late 1980s, she quietly worked her way into the top 100, 2017 being her best year yet.
