In my class of 1989 and those classes around the same age, there seemed to be a lot of:


Girls: Angela/Angie, Amy, Jennifer, Kristi, Holly, Lisa, Michelle, Stephanie

Boys: Michael, Jay, Jason, John, Chad, Chris, Corey, Jeff

 

[OK!]

The main one who really stands out is Jennifer. There were 5 Jennifers in my kindergarten class. When we went to first grade, we added a Jenny to the mix as well.

ETA: Oh, and I graduated HS in 1991.

Me too(class of 91) this is why I said Jennifer because there was always 3,4or 5 in my classes! They always had to go by their last initial also.It makes sense because it was the #1 baby name in 1973

[kilee]

I graduated in 1992 w/ a class of 326.

For girls we had a lot of Jennifer, Heather, Amy, quite a few Tracey/Tracie's, and Sheri/Sherry's. I am Kim(Kimberly) and there were 8 of us.

For Boy's it seemed everyone was named Chris/Christopher, Brian/Bryan, or Dave/David at our school. Quite a few Sean's too.

 

[NMAmy]

I think it's funny that Amy is so popular at different times. I graduated in 1981 and there were only two Amys in my class. I've only met a few others over the years--one of whom is a friend of dd's. That's a bit confusing. It takes me a minute to realize that dd isn't suddenly calling me Amy instead of Mom.

We had a lot of Debbies, Tammys, Brendas, Beckys, Lauries, Kims and Sherrys. For boys, we had a lot of Mikes, Daves, and Todds.

DD graduated last year and at her graduation ceremony, I realized that there were a ton of Megans in her class.

 

[CapeMayMommy]

Are we talking high school graduation?

Debbie, Karen, Cathy/Kathy, Lisa and Donna were very popular names in the class of 1980.

What she said---class of 1984. (btw my name is Karen and there were three others in my kindergarten class. Just try and find a 5 year old Karen now)
