My junior high was filled with them. I remember one class that had four Sarahs. The grumpy ole teacher complained about the number of Sarahs a lot. Eventually she just called all the girls Sarah. She was a piece of work. (Now Sarah is my Starbucks name.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1319055 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 09:40:36 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1319055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm I think a few Johns, a couple Sarahs. Nothing else is coming to mind, but most people had common names for sure! Mine was #3 in the late eighties but no one in my grade was named that at my school. Lots of us in high school though, and some people at university with the same first and last name as me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1319037 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 09:22:15 +0000 rachiecakes 1319037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had multiple Sarah, Meghan, Jennifer, Moira, Erins.<br /> Boys were Christopher, Michael, Eric and Patrick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1319026 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 09:08:48 +0000 lindseykaye 1319026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember my elementary school classmates names but I did have tons of doubles on my high school cheer squad. There were two:<br /> Ashley, Lindsey, Megan, Courtney, Katie and Heather! On a squad of fewer than 20 girls, this was a lot.<br /> Though I know it isn't exactly a random sampling since we were all cheerleaders ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318964 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 07:44:15 +0000 Cherrybee 1318964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to Google what ages Elementary School is!! We call it Primary School. </p> <p>My primary school was in an area of my city where a very large chunk of the families are from India, The Punjab, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. The kids who sat on my table were called Fazana, Razia, Farooq, Akmul and Majid (true story!!). I think Ranjit was the only repeated name in my class....</p> <p>At secondary school, though, the frequently repeated names were Rachel, Rebecca, Alison, Andrew, Matthew, David. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318961 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 07:40:15 +0000 knittylady 1318961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jasmine</p> <p>Chris, Germaine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318900 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 05:31:35 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 1318900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of Ashley, Kristen, Lindsey, Matt, Chris, Josh, Steve.</p> <p>It will be interesting to see what our kids say in 25-30 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318879 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 03:16:24 +0000 yellowbird 1318879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had lots of Jennifers, ashleys and brittanys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318863 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 01:56:34 +0000 Kimberlybee 1318863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: Yes, Chris was very popular too and I need to add Maria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/name-popularity-elementary#post-1318858 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 01:31:24 +0000 Corduroy 1318858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: You can have my Lukes.
