Popularity Of The Name "Perry"

Perry Name Rank

The series ran from 1957 through 1966, but the improvement in rank began in 1955. Perhaps this was from the popularity of Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason books at the time? The "peak" came in 1958 and 1959 when the show was a smash hit. Data from Popular Baby Names at Social Security Online. Discovered by Ed Zoerner and reported on 3/30/11 by email.
