[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wesley is sooo popular in this area. I know at least 5 under 5. It’s fine if you don’t mind a popular name. [/quote]

Most people want a popular name. Who would give their kid an unpopular name. That doesn’t make sense. [/quote]

People who grew up with a popular name, tend to not name their kids popular names because of how annoying it was! All of the Jessicas and Jennifers not only had this issue as kids, but all of their kids friends moms are also Jennifer and Jessica! [/quote]

So, a fun fact about this is that people use a wider range of names now than ever before, such that even the most "popular" names are much less widely used than names of yore.  In 1980, for example, the number one most popular name for girls was Jennifer, and 3.3% of all baby girls that year were named Jennifer.  In 2023, less than 1% of baby girls got the number one name (Olivia)—that is, last year's number one name was used at about the same rate as 1980's 16th most popular name.  So even if people pick the most popular names today, they are significantly less likely to be in class with Olivia J. and Olivia M. and Olivia R.   [/quote]
