First Names that were popular in your school

[TripleHFa]

In high school there was 3 Ryan's.

Secondary early 90’s lots of Victoria’s all nn Vicky with various spellings.
Also popular was Lisa and Lindsey/Lyndsey.

Primary school in the 70s, we had 9 Sharons in our class 4 Claire/Clare and 3 Karen's the other 2 were both called Jennifer. Boys mainly Michael and Andrew

I started school in 1975. I remember umpteen Darrens, Roberts, Andrews, Christophers, Martins and Ians. A fair few Joannes, Sarahs and Emmas too.

Boys were all called Ben and Dan.

Boy wise - I swear to god in my senior school years (late 90s) it seemed like 80% boys had to legally be called Dave, Joe, Michael, Dan and Sam. 😂

Did make it easier to get into parties though. "Dan invited us" "Come in!"
Sneaky little minxes we were 💁🏻

Oh and we had two pairs of twins in our year, both Sarah and Laura.

Within each pair one went to Oxbridge route and one that didn't get an offer but I'm sure went to a brilliant uni too, just so coincidental it all happened the same to two pairs of twins!

We had several each of Sarah, Claire, Jo (Joanne/Joanna), Kate/Katy/Katie, Vicky/Victoria, Amanda.

Boys' names were more diverse, I think, actually. There were a couple of Marks, Matthews, one or two Roberts, variants of James.

Born 1962

Every other boy was an Andy 😆
Lots of Susans and Nicolas and a few Julies/ Julias and Joannes - I am none of these & haven't seen my name on this thread yet 😅
