Times have really changed!

It's interesting spotting so many posters around my age, even if they don't mention which era.
I can see which ones were at school around the time my kids were too!

Suzanne, Joanne, Michelle, Nicola for girls. Chris, Dean, Paul for boys.

I don’t think any names had many multiples but they were all very ordinary names

Sarah, Emma, Claire, Lisa, Michelle, Joanne, Natalie, Donna, Andrea, Kerry.

Edward, Ian, John, David, Andrew, Steven, Mark, Stewart.

This was a school that was entirely white English children so not even any Scottish or Irish names.

We had one boy called Jay. This was considered extremely exotic and American.

LarryGreysonsDoor we had a girl Jay and a boy Jay at primary - also probably among very few non new testament names. My name might have been the most unusual but I've never liked it, no idea why I never got around to changing it except that it's not worth the wailing my mother would have done, plus the general paper trail hassle the older you get.

Karen; there were 6 in my year. Also multiples of Sarah, Fiona, Jennifer, Lindsay, Lisa, Lynn and Morven.

Andrew, John, Paul, Alastair and Douglas for boys.

A couple of years below me there were 5 Rachels in one class.

Also Tim, Samantha, Penny, Michelle and Wendy were all popular names

Andrew and Fiona

4 out of the 12 boys on my primary school class were called Paul.

For girls, there were a lot of Sarahs and nearly as many Rebeccas. (born late 70s)

Clair, Sarah, Louise, Joanne/a, Fiona, Alison, Kirsty, Ailsa

David, Stuart, Andrew, James, Stephen, Graham, Lewis

That was Scotland in 80/90s. Then when I went to uni in Fresher’s Week at least half the girls I met were called either Sarah or Laura.
