How Many Names?

This is kind of random. But I found this website Baby Name Uniqueness Analyzer and then got curious.

How many people with the same name did you ever have at a time in your class / grade / day care / etc.?

If you remember what the name was, please share also!

I think mine was Michael. With 4 (maybe 5) in my high school class of about 200.

[name_f]My[/name_f] junior year in a small high school, though they weren’t all juniors:

Cameron/Kameron (2)
John/Jon (3)
[name_m]Matt[/name_m] (4)
[name_u]Nick[/name_u] (6)

No repeats for girls in my school. [name_m]Just[/name_m] the guys. And so, so many Nicks. :joy:

There were 5 Maddies at my job this summer, and two of them also went to my school! They are between the ages of 16 and 19.

I already said this in another thread but in my primary/elementary school year group of 30, there were 3 Charlottes! Two of those Charlottes also shared a last initial, so we had to call all of them by their full name like 99% of the time.

In my secondary/high school class (roughly 180 pupils) there were about 7 Chloes, 5 or 6 Olivers, 5 or so Thomases, 4 Emilys… these are all really popular names for the time I was born though, so not many surprises! We did have 3 Niamhs which is a bit more uncommon in my area.

[name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] with about 6 of em, and [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f] with 4. There were 2 Julians in one class one year, 2 [name_m]Josiahs[/name_m] in that same year, 3 Isabella’s in another year, 3 Cameron’s in another and 2 Damian’s another. I’m not even gonna get started on the Aidens/Hayden’s/Braydens/etc cause I lost count

I think in every year of school i had either 2–4 Emilys/Emmas, Haileys, Isabellas, Sarahs, Graces, Hannahs, Lilys, Jordans, Tylers, and Camerons in my class alone. The grades above and below us all had these exact repeating names too.

I feel like I’m just old enough to have missed this trend. I knew 1 [name_u]Adin[/name_u] growing up. No [name_u]Jayden[/name_u] / [name_u]Kayden[/name_u] / [name_u]Brayden[/name_u] / etc’s

I was born just as it blew up, my younger sis who’s only 13 months younger than me didn’t have nearly as many, just a few Aidens here and there. I guess by then the trend had passed :joy:

I have had a [name_f]Brooklynn[/name_f] & a [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u] in the same class. Two Gavins (twice!), as well as the otehr classic common names.
