Seriously...if you name your kid Asher or Harper or Riley or Henry or Charlotte, there'll be another one in their class. If you go with Jessica, most likely no one else will have that name now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-were-popular-when-you-were-in-school/page/2#post-49916 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:11:09 +0000 Coastinganon 49916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jennifer, Jessica, Amanda, Sarah<br /> Matt, Jeff, Mike, Dave </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-were-popular-when-you-were-in-school/page/2#post-49859 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:10:04 +0000 lavender 49859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jessica, Jennifer, Lisa, Matt, Chris, Mike </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-were-popular-when-you-were-in-school/page/2#post-49498 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:27:04 +0000 JessicaMcB 49498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was in school my own name (Jessica) ran rampant as well as Stacey, Jennifer, Kelsey, Jordan, and Matt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-were-popular-when-you-were-in-school/page/2#post-49493 Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:19:24 +0000 MrsH 49493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Emily and andy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-names-were-popular-when-you-were-in-school/page/2#post-48999 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 14:30:40 +0000 erinpye 48999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eeh: I'm Erin, too, and I rarely had another girl Erin in my classes, but there was always a boy Aaron, which made me also have to do the first name last initial thing--I hated it!</p> <p>I remember a lot of Caitlins, Sarahs, Jessicas and Ashleys.

My name is Jennifer, but there weren't many in my grade (only 1 more). I think that's because I'm 22 and most Jennifer's are around 30.
