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


Penelope has a rather unique history on the baby names chart.  She debuted in 1922 but dropped in 1928, never breaking out of the 900s.  She relaunched herself in 1935 and quickly reached the top 300, where she spent most of the 1940s before her popularity faded again.  She gave it another go in 2001 and blasted her way into the upper reaches of the chart.  Most recently, she's spent 7 years in the top 30 -- 2022 being her best chart performance yet.
