It has come to my attention that I know of 5 children named [name_u]Collins[/name_u] born in the last year (1 boy and 4 girls) in the same state.
For context, [name_u]Collins[/name_u] ranked #365 for females and outside the top 1000 for males in 2020 for the US (and outside the top 100 in their state for either sex). It’s likely several of these children will grow up in the same peer group. [name_m]Just[/name_m] goes to show popularity can be so finicky!
For the real name nerds, here are their middle names with symbols for privacy!
