Plenty of Todds and Kylies for gen x
There were already two, Michael last initial and Mike last initial in my English class that i had to go by last name.
In my class there where two loosely related cousins with the same name and surnames; we went with name and birth year to differentiate them
Michael… Bolton? Wow, is that your real name?
Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.
There was nothing wrong with it, until I was about 12 years old, when that no talent ass clown started winning Grammys…
I think there were six Rachels in my year at school. And apparently if I’d been a girl, that would have been my name too…
There were 5 or 6 Sarahs in my english class in high school.
Guess when I was born… Went to school with James, William, Dan, John, Joseph, David, Elizabeth, Lisa, Margaret, Debbie, Carolyn, Bonnie, Susan, Karen, Michael, and Peter. Most of the Karens I knew were nice people. They don’t deserve the bad rap.

Sometime in the last hundred years?
I’d say early gen X
Those dude names are common across generations. Debbie and Lisa were popular baby names in the 50s & 60s, Margaret and Carolyn too. I’m guessing you graduated high school around 1975-1980.
Graduated high school in 1975. BTW my niece has a Camden and a Corbin. My daughter is named Chelsea.
50s?
Early 80s maybe 80 or 82
The amount of Cody and Chris’s I know is surprising. I’ve also met plenty of Daniels and Tonys.
Which generation and where are you located? Cody is quite a unique name in my world.
Elder Millennial, Central US. I know three Cody’s personally and two by acquaintance.
Brandon, Ryan, and Aaron for guys, Christine, Sarah, and Kat for girls. Kat gets more of a mention here because it’s a short version of Kate which is a short version of Kathy which is a short version of Katherine. And when you combine those, that’s like 50% of every generation.
Wait, Gen X had all the Kylies? That sounds characteristically Gen Y/Z.
Probably late Gen X. Kylie was popular in Australia but went global with Kylie Minogue in Neighbours.
I personally know a lot of millennials named Megan (Meagan, Meghan, Megyn, et al)
You remember my wife, Megan Duffy, maiden name Duffy, hopefully no relation.
That line is funny by itself, but how he delivered the “hopefully no relation” part so casually made it 10x funnier.
Sean when it should be Shawn or Shaun. Not Sea with a N
Shawn or Shaun were “derived” from Sean, Irish for John. Putting it diplomatically.
Derivative or not Sea n is WRONG. 300 years of potato eating destroyed their abilities to spoke
up the ra
Every Sean I knew who didn’t spell it “Sean” was a total dickhead, putting it slightly less diplomatically but I’ve been drinking.
Luke!
Mark
I went to school with more fucking Jennifer’s and Christopher’s
90s baby?
1980
That checks out.
I’m born in '78. In Poland I had several Krzysztof in my class, in Germany Daniela and Andreas.

Emily
I know like 10 Emilys it feels like.
Lee Ann, Cindy, Tammy, Debbie
Steve, Mike, John, Bob
Not Ada apparently. Every other Ada I meet is either 5 or 85
I only know Ada Lovlace, the first programmer. Also Ada the programming language.
My former collegue used to work in it and named his daughter after her
I’m so sorry and that’s lovely, in that order.
The Ada programming language being named after Ada Lovelace was like if they named the MS Explorer version of JavaScript “Turing.”
Can confirm: 80 year old names are back in fashion. Every other kid in kindergarten is an Ada, Amelia, (the rest are Bryden, Jaelynn, etc.)
French, old millenial. Plenty of Jean-“X”. What I mean is :
Jean-François Jean-Michel Jean-Luc Jean-Mathieu Jean-Marc …
