I just heard the song "27 Jennifers" and got to thinking about names I heard a lot when I was in school as a kid. I think I had 3 Jennifers and 3 Johns in my class. What names were popular when you were in school?

We had a lot of Jennifers in my class too. Back in high school, I think there were about 4 of them. But the most popular name in my batch would probably be Nicole. I think there were more than 10 of them. There were a lot of Michaels too. Im just glad my name wasn't a common one.

I didn't really appreciate my unique name until high school. I think in elementary/middle school I just wanted to blend in :)

My name is Jessica and that was very popular. I also know Justin was a popular name for boys. I knew about 20 of each. Its so hard to keep them all straight. Now as an adult I have 2 friends by the same name as me. My kids call the one who is my sitter the other Jess. Which is wierd because they dont call me jess they call me mom. I guess they just know im Jess and she has to be the Other jess! LOL! Whatever makes them happy!

Wow, 10? The good thing about the name Jennifer is the different nickname forms...so we had a Jen, a Jenny, and a Jennifer...so we wouldn't mix them up :)
