What happens to a name after it peaks
The Grantland test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Eyal's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Grantland climbed just as high around 1930, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Grantland's path sketches the road Eyal is walking now.
