I've heard it said that the sweetest sound to anyone is their name. What child wouldn't rather learn about graphs as they relate to themselves. NameVoyager graphs the popularity of any first name from the 1880s to today. This is so easy, and it'll trigger some good conversations with Math in the mix.

Try the name Dwight, as in Eisenhower. There could be a discussion of how its rise in popularity relates to history.
