Guess the year based on names...

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Inspired by a thread in baby names (and an overwhelming desire to put off work I'm supposed to be doing!), can you guess the approximate year of birth of a poster based on the most popular names of peers in their class?

So mine. Comp school in the Midlands.

Sarah
Claire
Jenny
Debbie

Paul
Lee
Neil

1982?

1983, my name and my best friends name are there.

1970

1976

1973

1975

1972?

I have friends with all those names and I was born in 1962. I think I may go later for the OP though. Maybe 1972? Somewhere in that 10 year span anyway.

Mid 70’s

@SquirryTheSquirrel

1975

Yup 74/75

Anyone else?

1980?

Bout 1972

I'd say 74. My mum has friends with those names

I was going to guess 77/78.
