Secondary girls school in the 90’s. A good proportion of my class of 28 girls was a Katherine variant (we had a Catherine, Katherine, Katheryn, Katie and a Kate) as well as couple of Sarah’s and a couple of Joanna’s (but that one admittedly was random as I think there was only one other in the whole school - that why parents worrying about popularity in names doesn’t always work!). Across the school year there were also multiple Lucy’s and Amy’s.
