Plenty of Todds and Kylies for gen x
I went to school with more fucking Jennifer’s and Christopher’s
90s baby?
1980
That checks out.
Names that end with en like Kayden, Jayden, and Hayden. Raiden was never part of it unfortunately.
Be the change! Name yoir kid raiden :D
Nowadays everyone would think you got it from Genshin Impact.
You serious?
Edited: Actually you’re right about what I wrote at first, I fixed it to what I meant, and the below is an elaboration on what I meant, not what I first wrote.
Imagine 15 years from now you ask a fifteen-year old who Raiden is. They probably won’t have heard of Mortal Kombat unless there’s a huge resurgence in the franchise.
That might be the case if you ask one now.
I’m born in '78. In Poland I had several Krzysztof in my class, in Germany Daniela and Andreas.
Apparently, looking at a government website:
Jennifer Jessica Amanda Sarah Melissa
Michael Matthew Jason Christopher Joshua
And this 100% lines up with my classmates’, friends’, and family members’ names.
Makayla, McKenzie, McKenna, Austin, Jayden
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.
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.
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.
Sometime in the last hundred years?
Early 80s maybe 80 or 82
50s?
Used to work in a fairly high end ski hotel. In February we would get dozens of little kids all going for ski lessons. I used to label their skis so they wouldn’t get mixed up, but I always had to also ask the surname so I could write “Olivia T, Olivia M, Emily P, Olivia B, Emily H, Emily S” then start on the boys “Tom D, Tom A, Oliver G, Tom J, Oliver H…”
Also when someone asked me to get their luggage from the car - “It’s a black Audi”
You don’t fucking say. Which of the ten black Audis is it, Oli?
Don’t get me started on the number of Toms, Olivers, and Olivias at my daughter’s school.
When these kids start working in offices, is going to usher back in the day of calling all co-workers by their surname “Hey Jonson, I have that report for you from Smith. Thanks Brown.”
I think they used to do that back in the 70s and 80s because everyones firsnames were all James, and Peter.
Lilly, Luna, Sarah, Zoe
As a trans woman who dates t4t, this is basically 50% of their names.
Luke!
There were 4 or 5 Jason’s in my kindergarten class.
I personally know a lot of aging 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.
There were already two, Michael last initial and Mike last initial in my English class that i had to go by last name.
Michael… Bolton? Wow, is that your real name?
There was nothing wrong with it, until I was about 12 years old, when that no talent ass clown started winning Grammys…
Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.
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
French, old millenial. Plenty of Jean-“X”. What I mean is :
Jean-François Jean-Michel Jean-Luc Jean-Mathieu Jean-Marc …
Gen x here. Lots of Jennifer and Melissa.
Yep. And Tom, Bob, Rob, Bill, John and Steve.
