I had never met/ heard of a child with my name before (I know several adults with it) - this past weekend we were out and about and I heard someone call my name only to realize they were talking to their toddler! Finally! ha!
-
Not IRL but there was an HB baby born like 3 years ago maybe with my name (same spelling, which is unusual).
-
Yes! So, so many. It's very popular these days - especially as a nickname.
-
Nope. People with my name were almost always born between 1980-1985. If I hear my name I assume it's someone my age. Very trendy. I would be super surprised to hear a baby named it b
-
Nope, my name really dates me to the 80s!
-
Nope, and honestly I don't hear my name much at all, not like I did when I was in school and there was always at least 5 of us. My name is definitely a mid-70's name.
-
Actually no, which might be surprising because it's a very classic name, but it was also SUPER popular in the mid-80s
-
A co-worker used it like 5 years ago. But my first name is a family last name. Otherwise no one uses it anymore.
-
yes, my good friend has a niece that shares the name (she's started calling her my nickname, I think it's cute!)
-
No. It was never a hugely popular name, but the time it was most popular was in the 80s.
-
No just adults.
-
I do not. And I don't know very many that are my age.. i was always the only one in school and college. However I do hear it a lot while out and about now bc a certain tv show made it popular about 10 years ago (I think). It's so odd for me to hear it being called and I always assume it's me so I whip my head around.. yup, it's not me its the 7 yr old or toddler they are talking to ....
-
Nope, not my name. In the alley of our subdivision where the two streets back up to each other, there are 5 Jennifers. They're all 40 years or older. So, in the late 60's-early 70's, it was hugely popular around here.
-
Not my full name but my NN which I go by is popular. I also hear both in pop culture a fair amount- like characters in movies/shows.
-
Yeah, I know a few!
-
I've only once met someone my age with my name. Lots of four year olds now have it. There are two hb babies I can think of with it.
-
I can think of one that I know. I think it is slightly more popular now than it was when I was born.
-
Nope. I've never met anyone with the same name.
-
No, it's a very 80s name!
-
Nope, it's a super 80's name. I've only ever heard people my age with my name.
-
No, my name wasn't even popular when I was born. It's usually women much older than me that have it. But not old enough to be grandma chic yet, lol.
-
One of my good friends just named her daughter my name! Not after me, haha. I have a very classic name that's been popular in like every decade
-
Nope! I don't personally know anyone else with my first name either!
-
@Mrs. Pickle: LO 1's soccer friend's mom has the same name and spelling!!!
-
Nope. I only know one other female with my name and have seen/heard of just a handful of others. My name peaked the year I was born in the mid-200's and totally fell out of the top 1000 names after 2001. The male version of my name has always been more popular but I doubt I'd meet a child with that name either.
-
yep! DH's cousin's daughter, a HBer's daughter.
-
Never IRL, but I know Diddy used my name for his daughter a few years back
My name is a very popular nickname for a 80s name, so it's not around much anymore.
-
Nope. Not yet.
-
No, though I have a very uncommon name.
-
No, I don't really know anyone with my name...though a friend of mine told me they're considering it if their next baby is a girl (they are TG). I would love that!
-
Not IRL, but an HBer used it for her daughter
-
Nope. I've only met one other person in my life with my name. My nickname is a little more popular since it can be used for other names.
-
Yes! My friend's daughter (we met after she had her so it wasn't like she was named after me)
-
Nope my name is super 80s.
-
@autumnlove: that's so neat! Maybe I'll have to come visit you so I can meet her.
-
Well the "kid" I know is now in college. Even when she was little and I was the college student/ young adult her name seemed so out of place. I have a very 80s name.
-
@Mrs. Pickle: One of the VPs of my DH's group at work shares your name. It's a pretty male-dominated field so she's known as a total badass around here!
-
no, another very 80's name.
My name is a very popular nickname for a 80s name, so it's not around much anymore.
