When I was at school everyone was Emma, Rachel, Rebecca and a few variants of Katy thrown in. Also quite a few Hollies which is odd. I was born in the 1990s.

90s Kirsty, Chloe, Katie, Sarah I think there were about 6 Katie's in my year at school.

Although I do really like the name Katie but as a name in its own right which MN hates.
