It’s interesting guessing people’s ages from these posts!

Boys - Jonathan, Andrew, Robert, Steven. There were also 2 boys called Ian in my class at school, sure I read somewhere no baby was called Ian in 2017!

Went to an all girls secondary. Three Nicolas in my class. Louise was also popular. Joanne/ Joanna also. When I went to uni there were tonnes of Victoria (none at school but predominantly catholic)

For boys, Steven, by a very long way. There were five in my class.
For girls...Judith or Catherine. Only two of each though.

We had multiples of Elizabeth (lots went by Libby), Katie, Sam, Tom. Probably others I'm forgetting!

At uni I lived with a Stephen and a Steven.

Claire, Laura, Russell and Jamie.

Lisa... so many Lisa’s! There was a girl called Zara and I remember thinking her name was so unique and beautiful!

I left primary school in 1989 and there were 6 boys called Paul in my year group. Approx 50 kids in that year, 25 of whom were boys, so over one fifth of the boys were called Paul

There were a lot of Sarahs throughout the school and Jenny, Claire and Hannah were also popular.

Alison, Heather and Clair/Clare/Claire for girls

Alan or Chris for boys

I have never seen do many random apostrophe's in my life....

So why add another Bonnie?

Tons of Jennifer's and (C)Katherine's in my single sec high school year, start 1993.

There were 5 Mark’s in my husbands class. Funnily enough, I was perusing an OLD site the other weekend (with my single friend- we’re not like that) and every other bloke was called Mark. They were all into mountain climbing as well. Apparently.
