There's a pretty interesting article, with lots of examples here. The practical implications are numerous for genealogists!! Think of all the times you've found a new 'name' (aka relative), but that's all you know, the name. So what if you could narrow down that person's year of birth just by using their name? OK, so it's not perfect, but sometimes we're so happy to have a clue. hahaha
Anyway, have a peek http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-to-tell-someones-age-when-all-you-know-is-her-name/
Cheerio,
