If the name dates the man, date the man

After posting the last two photos, GB couldn't help but notice they both have the name Gordon. Using the Baby Name Voyager, typing the name finds out the use of Gordon peaked in popularity for baby names in the 1930s (the 79th most popular boy's name during that decade). It has fallen sharply until its popularity is minimal at best in 2003 (the 758th most popular). What does this mean to GB readers? If you find out a guy's name is Gordon, he is more likely born in the 1930s than any other decade, making him 65 to 75 years old now and more likely to look like a GB posting than a gay.com advertisement.
