A little fewer, probably - names are much more diverse now than they were 30-40 years ago. In 2008, 18,377 Isabellas (#2) were born. In 1972, 29,273 Michelles (#2) and 27,546 Lisas (#3) were born. Partly because of creative spellings and the desire to be unique, there are fewer in raw numbers of every name.
