Most Popular Names When You Were In School...

[lacrosse_lady72]

Inspired by the name threads, what were/are the most popular names for your class? What year did/will you graduate, eta: high school grad as it would cover more people...

For me,
Ashley, Jessica, Katie, Amanda
Jake, Brandon, Nick

Class of 2005

 

[Piecey]

Ashley and Jessica mostly. We had a Katy and an Amanda but just one.

For guys I would say Andrew!
We didn't have a Jake, Brandon or a Nick.

I graduated in 2005, too.

[ColoradoMom!!]

Oh yes... I forgot about Kaitlyn, Caitlyn, Caitlin, Kaitlynn... there were a lot!

I'll never forget the first time I heard that name. I was standing in my college dorm in 1986, talking with a friend in her doorway, and she said that her sister just had a daughter and named her Kaitlyn. I swore I would name a future daughter that name. I would have too - but alas - just two boys for me.

I will always wish I had a Kaitlyn of my own. Kaitlyn Ann - my Mom's name is Ann.

1991:

Jennifer and Heather were the BIG gnames for girls. I had several of them in every class. There were several Jessicas and Erins as well, but much less than Jennifer and Heather.

Brian (or Bryan) and David/Dave as well as variations on Jonathon (John, Jack, etc.) were the most popular boy's names. Jason was getting there too--about tow years younger than me had tons of Jasons.

Amy was popular in my graduating class. I can't remember if there were a lot of boys with the same name.
