i know there’s been threads like this done before I read some from 20 years ago when I was a kid myself. Obviously baby naming has changed a lot since then.
Because there will undoubtedly be someone who says this is mean spirited then this is your warning to not bother reading it.

I’m curious to see if my kids names come up because they did on a few of the old threads 😂. Comments from teachers especially welcome

I think that the last time I met a Ruby was 1976. Mind you, she was one of the school bullies.

So manhw girls called ruby now

From my time teaching I have various grey hairs caused by random Thomases over the years. Mind you, I had a class where 80% of the boys were called either Thomas or Matthew - which made calling on whoever was mucking around to stop very easy and the kids were convinced I had eyes in the back of my head at points!

Actually I know some naughty Thomases too! And a really horrific George!
