Pretty unrelated to music, but regularly mining text from hundreds of millions of pages on the web can always show up some interesting stats. We decided to run a text entity extraction to find out the most popular first names in a sample of ¼ of a billion pages.

Below are the results for the top 10:

1. David
2. Maria
3. Michael
4. John
5. Daniel
6. Chris
7. Laura
8. Jose
9. Juan
