This is a map showing the names in my family going back as far as I have been able to trace them. When a name has been used only once I have used the colour green associated with new growth. When it appears twice is is colored yellow. If the name appears three times is is in blue and finally the most popular names that appear four times are red.
As you can see from the map the most popular names are William for a man and Elizabeth for a woman. Second most popular are Sarah, Lawrence, Roger, Ann and Thomas. Third most popular are Patrick, Catherine, Jane, James, Michael, Bridget and Margaret. Finally names used only once in the tree are colored in green. This tree is based on my family starting point the moment I add my sons name the tree changes entirely as although all of these names still stand a whole new array of names can be added to my sons tree which come from his father. I would try to tighten the pattern here and make it smaller trying to make a better fit with the names so the pattern can be kept smaller. So long as there is no overlap and each name can be read vertically and horizontally there would be no problem. My sons tree would change the most popular male to Thomas and Elizabeth would still remain most popular female. How would your tree look x
