My parents also didn't have a girl's name picked. I was supposed to be a Jason.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

When I was in second grade, there were THREE Stephanies in my class of 20 students. Now it's not even top 100

My name fell out of the top 100 in 1959 and it's been dropping like a rock since.
When I was growing up, every classroom had at least at least two Roberts, two Michaels and two Williams. That meant we had Bob and Robert; Mike and Michael; and Bill and William, with nicknames to spare. I'm not sure what happens when have have a class with multiple Aidens, Jaydens, Bradens and Haydens.
I'm waiting for Clara and Gertrude to come back into favor.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Following the general trends of namesI canNOT be the only one amused that Sophia is #1, can I?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I don't think my name has ever been that popular. Which suits me fine.

I know a Clara who is 2. Also, isn't Fiona's daughter Clara? Benno's baby sister?

Lisa was HOTT!T for '68. But seems to have gone out of favor. Which is fine with me. I don't like it when other people have my name.
Even though my first name was the number #1 name of the decade in France, I love love love the fact that I've only known 1 other person in the US who had it (in a mktg class in college). Second choice was the #2 name of the decade. In this regard, my mother was apparently not very original.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
