Common Facebook friend names...

General Name Discussion
1

I was looking at my list of friend names and noticed a lot of popular names from my generation. So I was wondering what are some of the common names from your Facebook friends? (Include spelling variations and nn’s… so [name]Angela[/name], [name]Angie[/name], and Ang would all be counted under [name]Angela[/name].) Also, tell us any spelling variations.

[name]Amanda[/name] -4
[name]Angela[/name]/Anngie/[name]Angala[/name] - 7 -

I only did ones I had more than four of. If I did 3’s, I’d have to include [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Charlie[/name], etc.

[name]Lemon[/name] :slight_smile:

[name]Alex[/name]: 3 boys, 1 girl ([name]Alexander[/name] and [name]Alexandra[/name], plus an [name]Alessandra[/name])

I left out the ones that there were only 3 of; there would be too many. See if you can guess my generation! :slight_smile:
