What was the Evie of your day?

[EveryoneLoves09876]

When I was at school everyone was Emma, Rachel, Rebecca and a few variants of Katy thrown in. Also quite a few Hollies which is odd. I was born in the 1990s.

Claire, Louise, Sarah, Joanne, Katie, (went to school in the 80's)

I've thought for a while the name Louise is due a revival

Of the 17 girls in my senior school class, 11 of us had the second name Jane. . I hate it.

Late 80s - Laura, Rebecca, Rachel, Sarah

Boys - Andrew, Christopher, Daniel, David

The boys names seem much less dated, apart from maybe David.

Fiona, Alison, GIllian, Susan

David, Andrew, Alisdair, Graeme

and Colin

Lisa, Donna, Angela, Claire.
John, David, Mark.

Am old.

@mintjulia Same. Most of my friends had either Jane or Elizabeth as a middle name, born mid 80's. They are the rose or May of their day

Kirsty for girls, Peter and Scott for boys. Scotland in the 80s.

Sarah, Claire and Emma

Amanda, Nicola, Keely, Louise, Joanne, Claire

Born in the early 70s.

Sarah, Catherine/Katherine, Elizabeth, Rachel, Joanne/Joanna, Claire/Clare and Rebecca were all well represented.

Claire, Elizabeth, Sarah, Becky, Louise
boys David, John, Daniel, Richard, Craig,

Rebecca (shorted to Becky with various spellings), Laura, Claire, Vicky (again spelled different ways).

James, Andrew (Andy), Matthew.

Oh and everyone's middle name was Louise, which I guess is the equivalent of Rose and Mae as a middle name!

Oh also quite a lot of Emilys and Emmas.

Oops, yes! 1977. Mine also a popular name however I was named after an actress my Dad quite liked, and I do think she’s great all these years on.

Claire, Vicky, Katie

Stephen, Chris, Robert

Born 1960's. Susan, Sarah, Helen, Clare, Karen, Lisa, Deborah, Ruth, Lynn

All girls school in Ireland. Born 1978.
Lisa and Michelle were the most popular names in my year. There were also plenty of Carolines, Joannes, Karens and Olivias in my school. The most popular Irish names were Sinead, Orla, Niamh and Aisling.

Lisa

Born 1990

When at secondary school I noticed a lot of:

Kirsty
Laura
Lauren
Gary
Mark
Danielle
Amy

Nicola, Joanne, Leanne, Lisa, Amanda, Michelle.

Born 1970s.

Rebecca, Hannah, Sarah, Emily, Rachel, Emma

Ask any woman from 45-55 and pretty much 90% will have one of 4 middle names; Louise, Mary/Marie, Anne or Margaret.
