Earnie -
swimming against the tide

If your name is Earnie your parents may be very proud to let their child swim against the tide: The name Earnie never ranked higher than position 1,756 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their offspring Earnie. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1907 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Earnie because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Earnie was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
