Katrina Dips in Popularity As Baby Name

[snopes]

As baby names go, Katrina isn't in vogue these days. But she hasn't disappeared either.

From its peak in the 1980s - when it regularly ranked among the 100 most popular names that parents chose for their daughters - it had gradually slumped to 247th by 2005, even before Hurricane Katrina smashed the Gulf Coast in late summer of that year.

The name's association with the catastrophe has now knocked it out of consideration for most parents, sinking its popularity to the lowest ebb since the 1950s.
