84?? No way!!

1962 Catholic school. You have pretty much named my entire year group!

1969-1971 ish

Hahae, at least I got the Catholic school bit!

Mainly 70s /80s , but a few before that as well .

Early/mid 60s, but there are some outliers there for the period and some missing.

I'm amazed! I was born in 1966. Had a Sandra in my class. It was already old fashioned by then! And Barry?!!

1965

I think George is a bit of an outlier. George I associate with much earlier and also later

I'm amazed! I was born in 1966. Had a Sandra in my class. It was already old fashioned by then! And Barry?!!

There were 2 Barrys between my 2 primary school classes and 2 Sandras.

I was born in 1978, other than Sandra & Irene there were at least 2 of each in my year at school.

Early 60s, the names of most of my brother's and my friends from primary are on this list

1970/71 could have been my class, except no Irene in mine

Late 60's

Would have put money in 70’s

Oops, *on

84? That surprises me. I'd have thought early 70s.

I would say early 80s, I was born in 1984 and I remember all of those names being in my year at school. I’m very surprised that people are guessing so much earlier!

That's really surprising.
I was 18 in 1984 and can still remember most of my class.
Paul, Adam, Dean, Shaun, John, Tim, Mark X 3, Kevin.
Helen, Michelle, Diane X 2, Lisa, Lesley, Andrea, Lynn.

Half their mums were Sandra, and the Dads were Derek or Brian.

It seems like my class did tend to have old fashioned names which was the premise of the discussion with my friend. I'm not sure if that's just down to being Catholic or being in Scotland.

I do tend to find that common names differ here a little, at least in my area. I've seen Brian mentioned as an old man's name but I attended school with and knew several Brians my age or close to so I don't associate it with old men.

1959

I was going to say 1975 but I think my answer would have been 1981 had I known is was Scotland (notes internal anglocentric bias) as I think those names were popular for longer north of the border.

It's a mix of 1950s to 1970s

1970 to around 1977

1979?
The year I was born
Most of those people were in my school.
