A Long, Slow Decline

I was born in 1965 and obviously my birth created the slight resurgence
the following year (1966 for my math-challenged readers) in popularity
of my name, which lasted for four birthing seasons. But it's gone to
hell since then.

Pretty soon I'll be down there with Wilbur (#915 in 1982, not in the top
1,000 since).
