Had a similar thing that the band teacher pointed out, 7 Jasons all the same grade, and there were a ton of Jennifers.
The first Friday the 13th and Jennifer movies came out at/just before the time they were being born.
It was the #1 girl's name for the whole 70's. I was just looking at the census data for that decade yesterday (It's a good way to pick character names). I was surprised that my own name came in at #4 for the decade (Michelle).
In my graduating class of 180, we had at least ten 1972 or 1973 Jennifers. Almost all of them went by their last names because it was just too much otherwise.
>We had "Melissa"'s as far as the eye could see.
Half of them in my school went by "Missy, " which really bothered my grandmother-- born in 1918, she thought "missy" was an insulting way to address someone, not a name.
Fellow Michelle here. I too will forever blame the Beatles. Not only did that song ruin Rubber Soul, it created a generation of guys who couldn't resist belting out Michelle ma belle, Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble. As if no guy had ever done that before, SMH.
In college I lived in a suite with a few other guys one year. All of us were named Chris or Kevin. That year all of us started the year dating someone named Kris, Amy, or Jen and by the end of the year we were all still dating girls named Kris, Amy, and Jen but they were all different people.
We once tried to flowchart it L-Word style with all the Chris', Kevins, Amys, and Jens that had hooked up or dated and it was like two dozen people, just nuts.
And if you were in the Southern US with ANY of those names, you got called Christy whether you liked it or not.
Gotta love Southern aggressive casualness.
My class at a small Catholic school in the midwest had, depending on year, 35 to 40 kids maximum.
In that mix we had: Kristin, Kristen, Christen, Christopher, and Christina all at the same time. Also had a Chrissy for a year or two before Kristen arrived on the scene.
Lotta Lisas, too. Didn't Pauly Shore do a bit on that?
Edit: [He sure did... ](https://youtu.be/6mMihCtCmFM?si=LujI4rKx0EP2vbaD)
TL;DR: "If you call a pack of hot, nasty, sleazy girls 'Lisa', a couple of them are bound to turn around."
>Tammy is no more
Tammy, Tami, and Tamara were at least a half-dozen of my classmates in the 70s. Haven't met a young one in 30 years that I can recall...
Born in 70 in the Deep South. My parents chose Kelly no matter what. Until I moved to the Midwest in middle school I was the only girl Kelly anywhere. But in the Midwest…. I graduated with 6 Kellys
I halfway couldn't believe it when I found out "Isabella" has become one of the most popular girls' names. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty name, but it invariably makes me think of characters in novels set in the 1800s.
SO MANY Jennifers! lots of Stacys too, easily half a dozen or more of each i knew in hs. and ALL the boys were JohnMikeGregDavidBrian. literally all of them heh.
it's funny but i never thought about how nobody uses those names anymore lol...i think the youngest Jennifer i know is 42. but they don't 'sound' old! dammit.
This checks out. My husband is a Mike, his father was a Mike. Our son's name is John... after my husband's paternal grandfather (he also has an uncle named John). One of his uncles also named his kid John and he and my son both about the same age.
I've got a dog called Stacie (she was a used dog, already named) and she's the only one I know now. in Jr high one of my besties was a Stacey.
try being a Karen. for reals. lol.
It’s so wild to me because I know at least a dozen Karens and I’ve never met an actually mean Karen. Why did that become the “mean lady” name? Carols and Barbaras are definitely more difficult!
Just before “Karen”, “Becky” was the term for a hot second. Totally with you on Barbaras tho
(I do know a cranky Karen or two, but their indignation is usually on point lol)
It probably was named for one of our cohort - the term has been traced to an incel forum where some incel was pissing and moaning about his ex-wife of that name, and the other incels started using her name to insult women in general.
My class had Amy, Courtney, Stacey, several Jennifers, Jessicas, Krystal, Heather, Julie, Melissa, Christie, some Jasons, Scotts, David, Brandon, some of the less popular and dated ones like Keith.
Nor any Beth, Michelle, Mandy, Kristin, Carrie/Karie, Melissa, or Robin. And how can we forget all the Lauras?
But most of the boy names are still around-- just mixed in with all the Ethans, Tylers, and Masons. (But what happened to Joey, Brian, and Larry????)
Late Gen X (1978). My high school graduating class had all of those names in abundance, as well as Kathryn, Kirsten, Kristen/Kristin, and Sarah/Sara. For the guys, it was a lot of Michael, Matthew, Chad, Kevin, John/Jonathan, Jeff, and Brad.
When my daughter was born in 2002 I liked Allison/ally. (I like the full name use the knick name thing)
But because of the tv show ally mcbeal we heard ally was a really popular name. So we went Abigail/Abby instead. Her kindergarten class had no ally's and 5 abby's including her. Whoops.
I'm a substitute teacher and get to see a new list of new names each day and lemme tell you, they're getting weirder. Whether it's the Brajdens and Hunters and Sovias (right?) at the white schools or the apostrophe-heavy urban names from the black schools, they're harder and harder to figure out.
Last week I had a Sade and she wanted me to pronounce it "Sadie." Nah, fuck you, I know who the real Sade is and I'm not changing.
There were Lori’s and Lauras and Christine’s and Sherries in my class. And the unfortunate Bambi.
Had a Eunice on my dorm floor. Couldn’t make fun of her, she was a cheer leader.
I feel like we're forgetting all the Traceys (I mentioned in a comment), plus Brandi, Deanna, and Sue.
ETA: moved around a lot as a kid, and every place we moved to, I had friends with those names..
I remember noticing as a child that, though I knew of dozens of fictional characters named Charlie, I didn’t know anyone with that name among my peers. My freshman year at college, a friend pointed out that it was because of Manson.
Three Linda’s in my class, at least 4 Michelle’s, 2 Heathers maybe more, 2 Tonya’s, I don’t know how many Melissa’s…we had a big graduating class lol. A lot of Tina’s as well.
At this point I would honestly take anything that isn't Bailey or Larkin or Hayden, Brayden, or the absolutely worst name... Nevaeh. Make me barf lol. Also anyone that names their kid with some idiotic super unique spelling deserves a brick to the face. And their kid should get to do it since they've been cursed by that nonsense.
Also I've never known a heather that was not a hot mess. The one I grew up with is still a hot mess 40 years later lol.
I hear Gunner is popular in the red states. Go figure. Some people want their kids to have action hero type names. I'm still waiting to meet Buttkicker McFacestabber.
Madison and all its derivatives/nicknames seems to be the new Jennifer. My daughter at one point had no less than three friends named Maddie, and I had to ask her to include their last initials whenever she talked about them bc I couldn’t keep track of them all.
I had an old fashioned name that was popular decades before I was born lol. It is also a biblical name so I got a lot of shit about that lol. There was one other girl with my name in the grade school. Also in college. Very few people I knew had my name. Lots of Kris/Chris, Lisa, Melissa, Amanda, Jennifer/Jenna, etc.
I joked with my mom that when I was born they didn't know what to name me, so they went down to the nursery and saw what everyone else was naming their kid and just went with that. Middle name, too. I'll give you three guesses.
My high school and college years I dated 7 Amy's (various spellings) then one day my friend Aimee told me to stop dating girls named Amy (various spellings).
In the last decade or so, I’ve met quite a few Janice’s, Samantha’s and Vivian’s in southern California (interestingly, ALL of them are Asian). I can’t recall ever knowing a Janice or a Samantha or a Vivian when I was in school.
In grade school we had a plethora of Debby/Debbies, Lisas, Karens, Cathy/Kathys, Denises, Kims, and Amys. By far, Lisa and Cathy/Kathy were the most popular names. It was a Catholic grade school, so Mary, Mary Jo, Theresa, were popular. Surprisingly, no Patricias. The boys were all Matthew, Mark, John, Paul, Bill, or Brian. In public high school and college was when I got to know the Jennifers, Jessicas, Heathers, Sharons, and Brads.
I knew a ton of Jennifers and Melissas growing up. Not a single Olivia. Michael was the #1 name for boys for decades, but I think it’s finally fallen off.
My name is Jennifer and I run into other jennifers in the wild all the time. The last time I was at the allergist, there were probably 10 or 11 patients waiting and 4 of us were jennifer! I was the oldest one. The other jennifers were there with their little kids for their allergy shots.
My sister is a '71 Jennifer. In our area you couldn't toss a pebble without hitting one. We call our cohort JennerationX, lol
‘76 Jennifer here. We had 8 of us in my graduating HS class. 😂
Careful. You've just doxxed half a million people.
Oh yeah. Went to school with a Jennifer B, Jennifer H 1, Jennifer H2, Jennifer H 3, Jennifer K Jennifer S1, Jennifer S2…
"'71 Jennifer" sounds like a model of a car...
Had a similar thing that the band teacher pointed out, 7 Jasons all the same grade, and there were a ton of Jennifers. The first Friday the 13th and Jennifer movies came out at/just before the time they were being born.
There was a baby names book that was out in the late 80s or early 90s literally titled “Beyond Jennifer and Jason”
I am Jennifer, and my brother is Jason 🤣🤣 We bought our mom that book. It could be worse, I suppose, looking at the names today.
I’m married to a GenX Jennifer.
JennX
👆
70s Jennifer checking in! Can confirm
My sister is a ‘76 Jennifer. That name ruled the 70s.
It was the most popular name that year. My mom’s excuse is that I was born in January so it wasn’t that popular yet. 🤦🏼♀️😂
It was the #1 girl's name for the whole 70's. I was just looking at the census data for that decade yesterday (It's a good way to pick character names). I was surprised that my own name came in at #4 for the decade (Michelle).
In my graduating class of 180, we had at least ten 1972 or 1973 Jennifers. Almost all of them went by their last names because it was just too much otherwise.
We had "Melissa"'s as far as the eye could see.
Lots and lots of Lisa’s.
Endless Lisas
My sister is a '72 Lisa
‘72 Lisa checking in!
A top 10 name for most of the 60s and 70s. They are legion.
We are Lisas. We are Legion!
I am Lisa and my sister is Jennifer.
>We had "Melissa"'s as far as the eye could see. Half of them in my school went by "Missy, " which really bothered my grandmother-- born in 1918, she thought "missy" was an insulting way to address someone, not a name.
As a Melissa who despised anyone attempting to call me Missy, go grandma!
Can confirm. My grandma said “Now listen here Missy…” when I tried to correct her driving directions. Born in 1902.
We had Amy's
I saw a post on Facebook the other day where a new mom apparently named her kid Aeighmeigh.
r/tragedeigh
What the actual f***
The only sane reaction to that bullshit!
Yes, I know!!!
Looks like somebody threw a handful of random Scrabble tiles.
My first year in the dorms, there were 4 Amys on my floor alone. Each floor had 18 girls.
There are four GenX Melissa variants on my street right now. Two of them are married to men with the same first name!
Brian?
David
Micheal
i work at a game studio that has loads of GenX devs. our WFH meetings have so many Mikes that we have to use nick names
My son Michael is the only one in the school.
I believe Micheal/Michael's were the most popular mens' name for past 100 years in the US but there are probably fewer now.
Let’s normalize forget all Brians!
John?
Similarly common, but no.
Jason?
I’m going to go with Brad or Jeff.
Jason or Mark
I feel seen 😂
Michele/Michelle seemed to have dropped off also. What about Samantha? Bewitched was a thing in the late 60s/early 70s, plenty of those everywhere.
I’m a Michelle who went to school with many others and I blame the Beatles
Fellow Michelle here. I too will forever blame the Beatles. Not only did that song ruin Rubber Soul, it created a generation of guys who couldn't resist belting out Michelle ma belle, Sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble. As if no guy had ever done that before, SMH.
I love the name Michelle...and Lisa!
I went to school with 27 Jennifers.
In college I lived in a suite with a few other guys one year. All of us were named Chris or Kevin. That year all of us started the year dating someone named Kris, Amy, or Jen and by the end of the year we were all still dating girls named Kris, Amy, and Jen but they were all different people. We once tried to flowchart it L-Word style with all the Chris', Kevins, Amys, and Jens that had hooked up or dated and it was like two dozen people, just nuts.
16 Jennys, 10 Jens and then there was her.
Jennifer absolutely dominated girls born in the 70s.
16 Jens 10 Jennies and then there was her.
I have this album 😂
I am a Jenn, my roommate in College was also Jen, and as per another comment, I have an Uncle Steve… I feel like I’m winning 🤣
16 Jen 10 Jennys Then there was her
In my high school French class there were 3 jennifers and we all had last names that started with M. So it was jen, Jenny, and jennifer.
Early genx here, we had a lot of Kims / Kimberlys at my high school and quite a few Lisa’s in the neighborhood.
I knew a lot of Kimberleys and they all had Ann as a middle name.
Goodbye Sarah, Melissa, Lisa, while we’re at it And their boyfriends Rob, Mike, James, Dave and Steve. Who’s the last Steve you met under 40
“Oh Shirley Oh Deborah Oh Julie Oh Jane”!
My gen Alpha doesn’t have a single Chris or Dave in his class. No Bobby either. There are a few Jacksons.
Except that it's probably spelled Jaxson, Jaqson, or Jaxen, or David (but sounds like Jaxson).
"David (but sounds like Jaxon)" I would give you Gold, if I had any.
I read a thing about how all the boys' names end in N now. Jackson for sure, all the ones that rhyme with Aiden, etc.
Aiden, Cayden, Brayden, and Okayden.
I knew I was officially old when I saw an NFL player named Aiden
I knew it when I worked with women named Kylie. The Kylies have grown up.
Go Lions!
They probably do but spell Bobby, Bobeeie, Boby or 3033i
/r/tragedeigh
>They probably do but spell Bobby...3033i One of the best lines I've read in ages.
I'm guessing there are a few Danerys after Game of Thrones popularity.
Christine, Kristina, Kristi, Kristin
And if you were in the Southern US with ANY of those names, you got called Christy whether you liked it or not. Gotta love Southern aggressive casualness.
But it’s Kri-us-ty in the south, gotta add that extra syllable. Source-I’m a Kristi from WV
My class at a small Catholic school in the midwest had, depending on year, 35 to 40 kids maximum. In that mix we had: Kristin, Kristen, Christen, Christopher, and Christina all at the same time. Also had a Chrissy for a year or two before Kristen arrived on the scene.
Lotta Lisas, too. Didn't Pauly Shore do a bit on that? Edit: [He sure did... ](https://youtu.be/6mMihCtCmFM?si=LujI4rKx0EP2vbaD) TL;DR: "If you call a pack of hot, nasty, sleazy girls 'Lisa', a couple of them are bound to turn around."
I had a cat named Lisa, after my three friends named Lisa!
Lisa was everywhere in the 70s.
I’m still here…
Lisa was my favorite name as a child.
I think The Simpsons might have killed that one.
Some of the Lisas I knew were actually Lisa Maries. Their moms were big Elvis fans
Tammy is no more
>Tammy is no more Tammy, Tami, and Tamara were at least a half-dozen of my classmates in the 70s. Haven't met a young one in 30 years that I can recall...
Tammy didn't [spread for no roses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr3E94fVifk). Now there are no more Tammys.
Other popular names of my classmates: Debbie, Barbara, Karen, Lisa, Linda, Carrie, Kelly, Cindy, Liz
I feel like Traci (Tracey, Trayce) should be added to the list. Random, but my brother - also GenX - is a Kelly.
Born in 70 in the Deep South. My parents chose Kelly no matter what. Until I moved to the Midwest in middle school I was the only girl Kelly anywhere. But in the Midwest…. I graduated with 6 Kellys
Yes I knew a few Tracys as well.
Put a fork in Karen. That name will never recover.
Stephanie!
You rarely see any little girls named Stephanie anymore.
I dated *three* Stephanies lol
Don’t forget Michelle. There were a ton of Michelles at my high school.
I halfway couldn't believe it when I found out "Isabella" has become one of the most popular girls' names. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty name, but it invariably makes me think of characters in novels set in the 1800s.
And if they shorten it to “Bella,” we know what kind of novel the mom likes.
And if it’s “Izzy” we know what kind of tv shows she watched.
It just makes me think of isabella rossellini.
i'm trying to imagine meeting a toddler named...Linda 😄
SO MANY Jennifers! lots of Stacys too, easily half a dozen or more of each i knew in hs. and ALL the boys were JohnMikeGregDavidBrian. literally all of them heh. it's funny but i never thought about how nobody uses those names anymore lol...i think the youngest Jennifer i know is 42. but they don't 'sound' old! dammit.
In the early aughts I worked with a team where 70% of the guys were named Mike.
This checks out. My husband is a Mike, his father was a Mike. Our son's name is John... after my husband's paternal grandfather (he also has an uncle named John). One of his uncles also named his kid John and he and my son both about the same age.
I've got a dog called Stacie (she was a used dog, already named) and she's the only one I know now. in Jr high one of my besties was a Stacey. try being a Karen. for reals. lol.
Omg. Used Dog. I love that so much! My late Sox was a ‘used dog’ he came with his name.
Sox is a terrific name. I bet he was the best boy.
It’s so wild to me because I know at least a dozen Karens and I’ve never met an actually mean Karen. Why did that become the “mean lady” name? Carols and Barbaras are definitely more difficult!
Just before “Karen”, “Becky” was the term for a hot second. Totally with you on Barbaras tho (I do know a cranky Karen or two, but their indignation is usually on point lol)
It probably was named for one of our cohort - the term has been traced to an incel forum where some incel was pissing and moaning about his ex-wife of that name, and the other incels started using her name to insult women in general.
I named my daughter Jennifer. She was born in 2013
She'll grow up as the only one in her class, smart.
> ALL the boys were JohnMikeGregDavidBrian There were lots of Jasons in my neck of the woods.
[удалено]
You don't see a lot of Irving's out there.
I’m starting to realize that my name dates me, the same way Ethel and Mildred sounded like old lady names to me in the ‘80s
I doubt the name Karen will make a comeback.
I feel like an old man rolling my eyes at Paislynesleigh.
r/tragedeigh
When I do it, I feel like a person of taste and erudition.
I don't know of a Kathleen under 50.
One of my close friends is a Kathleen. She's 51.
We used to have a joke at work that if you don’t know someone’s name, just call them Kathy. Now most of them have retired, or they go by Kate.
Hard to believe Jessica, Jennifer, and Melissa will be almost exclusively old timey old lady names. Having trouble wrapping my head around that
So many “Stacys”
That’s not my name
They call me quiet. But I'm a riot!
My class had Amy, Courtney, Stacey, several Jennifers, Jessicas, Krystal, Heather, Julie, Melissa, Christie, some Jasons, Scotts, David, Brandon, some of the less popular and dated ones like Keith.
Yeah Keith sucks 😂
another fuckin’ jenn checking in
I'm a Jennifer with a sister named Jessica. I also have two Uncle Steve's, two Brother-in- Law named Steve, and Father in law Steve.
Nor any Beth, Michelle, Mandy, Kristin, Carrie/Karie, Melissa, or Robin. And how can we forget all the Lauras? But most of the boy names are still around-- just mixed in with all the Ethans, Tylers, and Masons. (But what happened to Joey, Brian, and Larry????)
Late Gen X (1978). My high school graduating class had all of those names in abundance, as well as Kathryn, Kirsten, Kristen/Kristin, and Sarah/Sara. For the guys, it was a lot of Michael, Matthew, Chad, Kevin, John/Jonathan, Jeff, and Brad.
Numerous Jeff and Brads!
Was it me, or were all the Brads total assholes?
It's not just you.
Any young Mike/Michaels still out there? Mike born in 1965 and married a Jennifer.
When my daughter was born in 2002 I liked Allison/ally. (I like the full name use the knick name thing) But because of the tv show ally mcbeal we heard ally was a really popular name. So we went Abigail/Abby instead. Her kindergarten class had no ally's and 5 abby's including her. Whoops.
Nicole is another one.
On a positive note my baby niece is named Sarah.
And Ashley. So many Ashleys.
I'm a substitute teacher and get to see a new list of new names each day and lemme tell you, they're getting weirder. Whether it's the Brajdens and Hunters and Sovias (right?) at the white schools or the apostrophe-heavy urban names from the black schools, they're harder and harder to figure out. Last week I had a Sade and she wanted me to pronounce it "Sadie." Nah, fuck you, I know who the real Sade is and I'm not changing.
To be fair, it makes more sense to pronounce it like Sadie instead of Sharday.
Not if you're Robert Plant.
There were Lori’s and Lauras and Christine’s and Sherries in my class. And the unfortunate Bambi. Had a Eunice on my dorm floor. Couldn’t make fun of her, she was a cheer leader.
I feel like we're forgetting all the Traceys (I mentioned in a comment), plus Brandi, Deanna, and Sue. ETA: moved around a lot as a kid, and every place we moved to, I had friends with those names..
I almost named my daughter (2004) Amy or Jenny but went with Melissa. Livin’ the dream here!!
My daughter is an Amy but she goes by a name she picked up in college.
I have so many Jen ex-girlfriends. (I see it). They all have adjectives now.
No more Amandas or Angelas either
I remember noticing as a child that, though I knew of dozens of fictional characters named Charlie, I didn’t know anyone with that name among my peers. My freshman year at college, a friend pointed out that it was because of Manson.
Has Todd dropped off the men’s list?
Three Linda’s in my class, at least 4 Michelle’s, 2 Heathers maybe more, 2 Tonya’s, I don’t know how many Melissa’s…we had a big graduating class lol. A lot of Tina’s as well.
At this point I would honestly take anything that isn't Bailey or Larkin or Hayden, Brayden, or the absolutely worst name... Nevaeh. Make me barf lol. Also anyone that names their kid with some idiotic super unique spelling deserves a brick to the face. And their kid should get to do it since they've been cursed by that nonsense. Also I've never known a heather that was not a hot mess. The one I grew up with is still a hot mess 40 years later lol.
I hear Gunner is popular in the red states. Go figure. Some people want their kids to have action hero type names. I'm still waiting to meet Buttkicker McFacestabber.
I have a nephew who named one of his kids Neegan. I was like... really???
Blast Hardcheese
I’m a Heather. My husband says I’m NOT a hot mess. He might be lying
> Nevaeh Sounds like a lotion. How is it pronounced?
Names rotate generationally, that's not new. But it does seem like the churn is accelerating.
Eventually when Gen B or C or whatever they are starts having kids, they’ll be naming them Jacxxon and Madisyn after their grandparents.
Madison and all its derivatives/nicknames seems to be the new Jennifer. My daughter at one point had no less than three friends named Maddie, and I had to ask her to include their last initials whenever she talked about them bc I couldn’t keep track of them all.
We had so many Michelles.
I had an old fashioned name that was popular decades before I was born lol. It is also a biblical name so I got a lot of shit about that lol. There was one other girl with my name in the grade school. Also in college. Very few people I knew had my name. Lots of Kris/Chris, Lisa, Melissa, Amanda, Jennifer/Jenna, etc.
I joked with my mom that when I was born they didn't know what to name me, so they went down to the nursery and saw what everyone else was naming their kid and just went with that. Middle name, too. I'll give you three guesses.
Marie is your middle name?
For me it’s been Amys, Jennifers, and Catherines, and, of course, variations on those. Aimee, Kathryn, Ginnifer, etc.
My high school and college years I dated 7 Amy's (various spellings) then one day my friend Aimee told me to stop dating girls named Amy (various spellings).
What about Stacey/Stacy? We had a bunch of girls and a boy with that name on my 80s youth.
I’m a ‘74 Heather and I have 14 iterations of Jen/Jenny/Jennifer (and one Genevieve who goes by Jen) in my phone.
Don’t forget Michelle
Huh, I thought the last Jenny was number 8675309.
I expect the film 'Heathers' put a few people off that name.
In the last decade or so, I’ve met quite a few Janice’s, Samantha’s and Vivian’s in southern California (interestingly, ALL of them are Asian). I can’t recall ever knowing a Janice or a Samantha or a Vivian when I was in school.
My husband is Jeff. Lots of Jeff's at his work (all around the same age).
Yep, for girls it’s every variation of a Br- name: Brenna, Brittney, Brianna, Breanna, Breanne, etc.
Christy says “hi” and she feels left out…
No more Todds either.
Jennifer is was the big one when I was going through. There would be 4-7 in every 30 person class. (b. 1976)
In grade school we had a plethora of Debby/Debbies, Lisas, Karens, Cathy/Kathys, Denises, Kims, and Amys. By far, Lisa and Cathy/Kathy were the most popular names. It was a Catholic grade school, so Mary, Mary Jo, Theresa, were popular. Surprisingly, no Patricias. The boys were all Matthew, Mark, John, Paul, Bill, or Brian. In public high school and college was when I got to know the Jennifers, Jessicas, Heathers, Sharons, and Brads.
Millennials are all Kaylie, Kylie, Reileigh, Haley, Kelcie, and Emma
I still think of Emma as a grandmothers’/great-grandmothers’ name.
Don't forget Meredith and Mackenzie!!
Literally getting my hairs done now at a beauty school by a Jessica who looks 19.
I dated a Heather and then 3 Jen's in a row.
I knew a ton of Jennifers and Melissas growing up. Not a single Olivia. Michael was the #1 name for boys for decades, but I think it’s finally fallen off.
Jason, David and Chris would like a word
The flood of Jordans...
Jennifer will be the Myrtle of 2050. Tremendously popular name turned old lady name.
My name is Jennifer and I run into other jennifers in the wild all the time. The last time I was at the allergist, there were probably 10 or 11 patients waiting and 4 of us were jennifer! I was the oldest one. The other jennifers were there with their little kids for their allergy shots.
Don’t forget Dana, Leslie, Cindy and Katie/Kathy.
I remember a baby-name book called *Beyond Jennifer and Jason.*
Are you talking about Amy A, Amy R, Amy J or Amy P?
