Just thought this would be interesting to find out. What were the popular names when you were in school?

Mine were:

Heather
Amy
Tiffany
Stephanie
Kerry, Carrie, and Keri


Jason

Great question! When I was in, let's say, 6th grade, these were the popular names. All the popular people had them.

Girls:

Amanda
Tara
Danielle
Karyn
Suzanne

Boys:
Michael
Joey
Zack
Andrew
Kyle

There's a difference between when I was a kid, and nowadays. Now, the names are much more hip and modern.

By the way,
Hi CarriannDs. Long time no see!

Just to comment on what I posted eariler, I grew up and currently live in Michigan, so I guess that's just what was popular in that state. Names could be different than in say, California or New York.
Also, I was born in 1974, so my name, which is Kaitlyn, and other names, were just a factor of the generational time. Names are much different now. Besides, it was 70's.

Hi LifeIsGood,

I was born in 1974 and grew up in xxxx. But since we are on the internet, I don't want to go into to much more detail. What a small world.

I agree. There's a bunch of crazy people on this site that would use this information for bad and sick things.
I only said those things because they were related to the topic we're discussing.

I'm glad we're the same agre though. That's pretty cool. You're right, it is a small world.
