How popular was/is your name in Belgium?
While reading through the blogs I’m subscribed to, for the ones interested I use RSSBandit, I found these interesting links(/images/1) on the blog of Smetty’s Soapbox.
On figure 1 you can clearly see that the forename Kris was quite popular in that time. On figure 2 you’ll see that my last name van der Mast is most popular where I live. For the ones who know a bit about the geography of Belgium: I live in Essen which is at the top of the red colored part on the map.
Figure 1: Kris was quite a popular name when I was born in 1975.
Figure 2: van der Mast is most popular in the province of Antwerp.
Grz, Kris.
