[Comedyshortsgamer]

In primary school in my class there was 3 Nathans and 2 Ryan's

I had several of the following in my classes at school and in my neighbourhood:

Sarah, without a shadow of a doubt
Mark, Andrew and Richard for boys

2 Carolines and 2 samanthas in primary

2 Emmas and 4 jameses at secondary

I forgot about Louise! Almost every girl in my class was either named Louise or had Louise as their middle name. We counted it up once and Louise featured in most of our names or our siblings' names somewhere.

Born 87. Lots of emmas, Katie's and for boys a lot of Daniel and jack. Middle names I'm sure everyone was Louise

Gemma and Katie were the most popular girls' names by far. Among the boys, there were a lot of Davids, Bens and Stevens/Stephens.

Born 78, mixed primary with no duplicates in either boys or girls.

The only acceptable middle names were Louise, Marie and Lee.

There were 2 Samantha's in my primary school class. I've never met another Samantha in my life. There were no boys with the same name.

In secondary school there were a lot of girls called Jo, Emma and Gemma. There were a few Sarah's. I think Joe was a popular boys name.
