My mom would be proud of me this evening… I managed to match my dinner.
Apparently Sadie was extra-excited about the eggplant matching my skirt and was determined to be a part of every picture I took with the veggie.
I used the perfectly purple eggplant to create a yummy (and cheesy!) dinner of eggplant medallions for me and Ryan to enjoy with a side of roasted veggies.
Easy peasy! Just how I like it. 😉
Check It Out!
At work today my coworkers and I were having fun playing with the search engine WolframAlpha. We discovered that if you type in your name it will tell you when your name was most popular, how many people are living with your name, etc.
Here are the stats on my name:
- Most popular in 1969
- 1 in 2,088 people are named Julie
- 474,675 people currently living are named Julie
- 52 is the most common age of a person named Julie
The site will also provide nutritional stats for food, including obscure searches like “one Starburst” (which has 20 calories, FYI), or “10 peanut M&Ms” (103 calories).
It’s oddly entertaining!
If you check out the site, feel free to share stats about your name or other fun finds! 😀
Bethany says
What a cool site! I think I just discovered how I’ll be spending my evening! The most common age for Bethany is 23… I guess I’m pretty close to being on track with that!
peanutbutterfingers says
that’s a lot like ryan – he’s 26 & the most common age for ryan is 25!
Lauren says
I love the skirt and the purple eggplant color. And I totally try to match my eats with my clothes. Haha, I always grab the vita water that most matches my outfit for the day. Another thing I do is always try to match my undies with my outfit. Doesn’t everyone do that? 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
guilty. 😉
Angela (ohsheglows) says
Ahhh your outfit is so cute! Is it lame that I call things outfits? I swear I am not 8 yrs old. lol. Dinner looks fab too.
Courtney @ Sweet Tooth, Sweet Life says
Ok, first of all, too weird that we both managed to do fit in the “easy peasy” saying tonight (my dinner post title) 😉
Second of all, what a cool site!
Here’s my “Courtney” stats:
* Most popular in 1990
* 1 in 968 people are named Courtney
* 248,076 people currently living are named Courtney
* 20 is the most common age of a person named Courtney
Love the eggplant color…I’m quite partial to it! 🙂

That skirt is adorable! I love the rich purple color.
Gabriela isn’t a very popular name, but I’m surprised that the most common age for it is 7…maybe I’ll meet a lot of Gabrielas in the future!! Hope you have a wonderful night!
Frugal 'n' Fit! says
That website is my new favourite addiction. Thanks for the link!
coffeeismycarrot says
I was suprised to find that the most common age for my name (Hilary) is 20. Seems I’m ahead of my time since I’m almost 30 (or I guess really my parents were 🙂 )
Kelly says
What a fun website! Here are some the stats for the name Kelly:
Most popular in 1978
1 in 1, 484 people are named Kelly

I thought it would be fun to check out my name “Nicole” and it said 25 is the most common age for this name! That’ how old I am!! 🙂 Thanks for the link 🙂
jessica says
I’ve actually always been less than thrilled with my name because it’s so popular. Case in point: expected total number alive today is 1.01 million people or 1 in 439 people share my name! Cool sight though!
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That eggplant looks deeeeeeeeeelish!! 🙂

Yayy a website to kill time with! Thanks 😉

Yum eggplant! The average Leslie is 53. I guess I’m a little behind (I’m 22). Or I could say that I’m vintage 😉
peanutbutterfingers says
my sister’s name is leslie & she’ll be 21 at the end of the month!
Leslie says
Also I had two sisters, we were all pretty close in age. We had entire matching wardrobes!
land animal says

kaitm says
My mom used to always put my sisters and I in matching dresses, shirts, outfits, and especially homemade puff paint sweatshirts…the pictures are hilarious! The name game sounds fun, I’ll have to play tomorrow if I get bored at work!
Ash says
Well, this is a shocker:
Most common age: 23
1 in 300 people
799,601 living today
I’m so original 😉
Love the blog julius… can’t wait to see you in July!!
theprocessofhealing says
Oh yum!! How did you cook the eggplant?
peanutbutterfingers says
i roasted them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes before flipping them over, topping them with marinara & cheese & broiling them for another 3 min. or so until the cheese was melted.
Amber K says
That is such a cute outfit!
Apparently Amber peaked in the 80’s, so the average age is 24. I’m a little older than that, but I am a child of the 80’s! That is such a fun website!
janetha says

expected total number alive today | 81633 people
expected population fraction | 1 in 2943 people (0.034%)
expected rank | 572nd
most common age | 40 years
Hm, so most Traceys are older than me. I believe fraction though. I’ve only met one other Tracey.
LiveForTheRun says
Still amazed you have such great hair in that humidity:) Cute, cute pics. Eggplant officially scares me bc of it’s size, but I guess I could literally bite the bullet and try it out.
Maura says
I second that! Your hair looks great even in the Florida humidity. Any secrets? This Boston girl could sure use some! 🙂
peanutbutterfingers says
thanks! it actually wasn’t all that humid yesterday (shocking, i know) & i really do struggle w/ humidity! i definitely think my hair stays straighter/smoother in the humidity if it’s a little dirty (like the day AFTER i wash it). i also use a frizz-fighting serum on the ends.
angela1508 says
dinner looks good! and i love your outfit too!
apparently the ‘average angela’ is 39 years old… i guess i’m 18 years under-average! thanks for the site.. it will be my procrastination destination of choice today!
Holly at Greek Yogurt and Apple Slices says
mmm Eggplant Medallions!!! Love those 🙂 One of my favorite recipes for eggplant.
Here’s my stats:
rank: 364th
1 in 2299 people are named Holly
Average Age: 27 (kinda close- I’m 23)
Most common year: 1982
Paige says
I’m surprised more people aren’t named Julie, to be honest!
1 in 2,073 people are named Paige (I didn’t know my name was this common?)
average age: 7
115,884 people are expected to have this name.
23 years ago my name was uncommon, but I guess it’s coming up in popularity now. Kind of sad, I liked having a unique name. Now a bunch of teenyboppers apparently share mine. 🙁
Megan says
Love your outfit! My mom said we had one babysitter she couldn’t stand because the woman always mis-matched my outfits if she had to change me. 🙂
That website is totally addictive.
My name:
Rank – 100th
1 in 611 people
Expected total alive today – 419,557
Most common age – 20 (I’m 6 years ahead)
My parents thought they were being relatively creative when I was born… turns out, they hit right at the beginning of the popularity where the chart spikes.
Marlo says
I think im going to get an eggplant soon.. That looks AMAZING!
Kristin says
Love Wolfram|Alpha!!
I’m very surprised that there are so few “Kristin”s in the world- only 172,985 people currently living w/ the name.
Glad the ave. age is 29… I wonder if the spike came from “Dallas” being so popular 🙂
