'Jeanne' peaked in popularity in 1946, perhaps boosted by the star power of this 'glamour girl of the silver screen'.  Like Jeanne Crain herself, the name isn't much heard anymore.

William was the 2nd most popular baby name for boys during the 20th century.  It spent the years 1900 through 1975 in the top 10, having to be content with 21 consecutive years at #2.  He made a return to the top 10 in 2004 and, expect for the following year when he dropped to #11, he has remained there ever since.

Congratulations to Jeanne Radke on her Retirement

Radke retires from Cambria library. (Beaver Dam Daily Citizen, 6/12/2011)

Excerpt: Jeanne Radke closed the book this week on a long career serving the Cambria community as its library director. She began the job on June 10, 1983.

She said that she had the best interview. While looking for a job after her kids went off to grade school, she stopped in the library in Cambria and spoke to Gertrude Morgan, a retired librarian from Racine serving as an interim library director, and Margaret Ann Williams, the library board president at that time.

“I asked if they were hiring, and like a duet….they said ‘yes,’” Radke said. “They told me what schooling I needed to have. I took care of that, and was driving through Cambria and saw Mrs. Williams out raking the boulevard. I pulled up and told her that I had my certification from the state and she looked at me and said, ‘Well, then you’re hired.’”

Brendan debuted in 1936 but struggled to gain a foothold until the early 1950s.   It wasn't the smoothest climb, but he managed to reach the top 100 in 1998, where he spent two years, peaking at #97 in 1999.  Since then he's been in freefall and is likely to drop off the baby names chart in a few years.

Jeanne's best years were from 1922 to 1931 and from 1945 to 1953 when she cracked the top 100.  Best year:  1946 at #83.  She fell off the list after 1990 and has not been heard from since.

I'm sure they dance to this song at The Spot in the spring of 1959.
