WhitePages Names $25 Amazon GC Giveaway 4/21 - US/Canada

If you are a regular with my blog, you have read about WhitePages and the great services provided.  I use WhitePages quite a bit and love the neighbors feature to locate my neighbor's information.  Since I recently moved, I needed to find one of my old neighbor's but I didn't know his last name but a quick look on WhitePages was all I needed.  Prior to our move, I wanted to see a location of a house and I used WhitePages again to try to determine the location since it wasn't on Google Maps.  I love WhitePages and now they are offering a new service called Names.  


Names provides the user with an easy to navigate site that can be used to find information about a name.  Whether you are a soon to be parent, a prospective animal owner or even a gamer or want to know how to pronounce a name, WhitePages has it all for you.  With the digital age, many people who play games online has to create their character or toons and then need to create a name.  This is often hard to do so I can see this feature very useful for them too.

The Names home page will show you the most popular names and a hand picked name of the day.  I was curious so I used my name, Judy.  As easy as entering the name in the right hand box and the information is really cool:

• Continue reading if the name is the first name or click on the link if the name is the last name.
• Option to hear how it's pronounced.
• History of the name and ranking in the US.
• Nicknames of Judy.
• Quick facts and apparently, South Dakota has the most Judy's!  As I suspected, my name is an old name and the popularity was at its height in 1945.
• Distribution map of the name and percentage of ages with the name.
• Top Twitterers.
• Common last names and more.

I think it's a great site to learn about names, to pick names and more.  It's neat factoid information.  You can even view names by city, state and more.  It's a fun thing to do just to learn a bit more about names.
