@bender@twtxt.net I misread that sentence and thought that your first crush was called Gisela, and was like “wait, he’s not that old”.

Turns out, Gisela is a much younger name than I thought:

A peak in the late 1970is and late 1990ies? What?

But then it turned out that, in Germany, the popularity dropped rapidly in the late 1950ies, which actually matches my expectations:

In other words, some other countries picked up the name Gisela after it had already faded away in Germany.

What a fun rabbit hole. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org love the name! That’s the name of one my childhood first crush’s mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)
