Rachel 
Hebrew, "Female sheep"
The delicate and demure name of a biblical matriarch, Rachel hit its peak in 1996, at the height of "Rachel & Ross" mania. Though it is still a popular name, with several elegant actresses to claim as its own (Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz), the Friends connection forever identifies Rachel as a spoiled daddy's girl who takes more than a decade to get her career and love life figured out.

You may find some surprises -- for example, who knew Jennifer was a boy's name? Because this feature uses actual Social Security data, it includes the human error that attends a large survey, but it still reliably reflects the patterns of naming fashion.
