So, recently I started at a new school where I knew no one and most people didn’t know anyone either, and something odd happened that made me think to start this thread so here goes;
So in my new class we are 30 people. 16 girls and 14 boys. Of those 16 girls 3 are named [name_f]Flore[/name_f]. In my year there’s also another girl named [name_f]Flore[/name_f] who’s in a another class. All of this i find pretty crazy none of them have ever met or heard of another [name_f]Flore[/name_f] except one who was named for her great great grandmother. There are only supposed to have even been born around 300 girls in 99-00 (were everyone in my year was born), out of the 67 million people in my country. The impropabillity of this fascinates me a lot, and I was wondering if anyone ever experienced anything similar?
This is SUPER interesting, I love things like this! And [name_f]Flore[/name_f] of all names!
I have regional notes on that mostly. When I was growing up I knew so many Alexandras – it was a common name when we were born, of course, but not so common that I should have known six or seven around my age in a very small school system. By contrast I knew one [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and no Jessicas or Ashleys, the three most common names the year I was born.
At work, there was a time when we had three kids called [name_f]Talullah[/name_f] and two called [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], and yet no Avas, Sophias or Isabellas.
2 little girls in my clinic are both [name_f]Elaine[/name_f], not common at all!
Also 2 little girls in my clinic are both [name_u]Easton[/name_u], I’m use to [name_u]Easton[/name_u] more so on boys.
