so many Nicolas in Scottish school in the 90s

Born early 80s, but went to a girls’ boarding school where the name trends were a bit off kilter with the wider country! We didn’t have a single Clare, Nicola, Gemma, Michelle, Amy etc, and only one Laura in the whole school the whole time I was there. However, in a year group of 60 we had:

7 x Catherine/Katherine/Katie/Kate
2 x Alexandra
2 x Lucy
2 x Octavia
2 x Camilla
