The popularity of William as a baby name is graphed here.  Let's take a look at classmate Vonda.

Vonda debuted in 1923 and spent 51 years on the baby names chart, all but three of them in the lower half.  Thanks to the winner of the 1965 Miss America pageant, she experienced a very brief flash of popularity in the mid-60s, peaking at #261 in 1965.
