What baby names are waaaaaay too common?

[Byakuya San]

David, Nicholas, and Christopher. There have to be at least twenty Daves at my school, and it isn't one of the larger schools in the district.

As for girl names, there are too many to count.

[Helena]

Shannon, Ciara (any of the spelling variations), Keiran, Jacob (Yah-kub), Shameck, Natalie, Grace, Helen, Hannah, Stephen or Steven.

[Twinkle]

Helen isn't really that popular at all...

I'd reckon Hannah, Megan and Jack nowadays but when I was at school, there were dozens of Kylies and Adams.

[Lee]

Rachel. One of the many reasons I often go by Lee.

[Mongrel]

Rachel. One of the many reasons I often go by Lee.

And one of the many reasons I've gone by Dervish, Lune, Moonie, and Shazbot! The other 927 are mostly about my lack of common sense.

Yeah, lots of Rachels, lots of Joshuas and Stevens, some inordinate number of Ashleys and Megans. Oh, and Zachary is a big one too--there were two Zachs and a Zack in a cast of 16.

[Phlameseeker]

There were 5 Matthews in my class at the start of grammar school, and 9 other Chris's in my year O_o

[Lee]

Another couple are Anna, Katie, and in my school, Chad. We have about four.

[May]

Michael, John, Hannah, Nicholas - those are the ones that come to mind first.

[Twizzler0171]

Amanda (Mandy), Joshua, Jessica, Micheal (Mike), and those are the only ones I can think of that are common in my school at the moment...

[ckillor]

Emily, jack, sam, rachel, rebecca matt are extremely common around me.

i have never known many charlies

[Blake]

There are about 6 Blakes at my school. Only two of them are guys, including me.

[MarchingDuck]

I hear my name alot more these days...but mine is still spelled very differently.

Common way: Briana, Brianna, Breighanne (the Irish way)

My way: Breeanna

[Byakuya San]

Oh, HOW did I forget Matt? Considering there are two in my Latin class, one on tennis, one in my English class, the one who went to my school last year, and about a dozen others in my day-to-day activities.

This world needs more...Lazaruses! (or Lazuri, going by Latin rules)

[Siniri]

Shameck

Never heard that one before.

When I was in school, it was Jennifer (I had a ton of friends who all went by Jenn to be different from all the Jens!), Jessica (I'm a Jessica -- I was one of 3 in my 2nd grade class), Matt, Dave, Ryan, Mike...

Judging from my experiences teaching Sunday School to 6-9 year-olds, I'd say now it's more Emma, Grace, Nathan, Steven...

Of course, in my Irish dance school, there are a lot of Megans, Bridgets, Maggies -- and 2 "Anna Grace"'s (not too many Patricks because there just aren't that many boys/men)
