The popularity of Rhea as a baby name is graphed here.   Let's take a look at Rudy.


Rudy bounced around during the first two decades of the 20th century, then caught fire during the 1920s, perhaps helped along by this popular entertainer.  He spent 35 years in the top 300 (1929-1963), peaking at #235 in 1947.
