Common Names!
Heehee, soo, I wanted to do a little
experiment to see if the popularity of names
differs from place to place (which I'm sure it
does, but I thought it would be fun to ask). So,
what names seem to be common where you live?
These are some that are common here:
Girls: Kayla, Alyssa, Brianna, Alexis, Kaitlyn (and many
other forms of it)
Boys: Austin, Jonathan, Joshua, Zachary, Ryan.
Okay, I only used five names for each gender,
so it would be simpler. You can use however many
you want (or can think of ;) ).

Hmmm... There are a ton of "Emma"s in my area! There's about 4 in my school now, including me and one of my bff's, Emma =). Also, when my bff and I were in school, there were, like, 6 or 7 in our k-5th elementary school!! So, umm..
Girls: Emma, Katie (or, as another one of my bff's spells it, Kaitie, short for Kaitlyn), Emily, and Raquel (ra-kell) 's seem pretty popular.
Boys: Uhhhh, I don't really know... Ben and Jake's seem popular.

Um, girls: Holly, Hannah, Sara(h), Sierra, Briana (or forms of it)
Boys: Kyle, Justin, Levi (which isn't really common, but I think it's an awesome name that one of my good friends has :D), John, and for some reason "r" names.... (ex: Riley, Ross, Rickathy *giggles*, Robbie, etc.)

@ Koffee: You know a Rickathy? XD

;D Rickathy. That's very interesting. XD

I don't know him directly. But we joke about his name a lot :D Cuz my friend "John"'s older sister is friends with this girl named "Mallory" who dated this guy named Rickathy in like the fourth grade....and he took her to OMSI...with his boy scout troup...and I nearly wet myself laughing when "John" and "Kaitlyn" told me this story :D

Okey dokey! :)
Girls: Mikayla (or Micheala), Sarah, Paige (hee hee hee!!! Actually, it tends to be with 0 - 5 year olds, like I baby-sit three Paige's), Emily, and Marissa
Boys: Luke (there's lots and lots and lots of Luke's in Gorham... It's weird...) and Ben. I know tons of Luke's and Ben's, but I don't think I know any other guys that have the same name.
Sooo, Zoe, will you confirm the Maine names for me? :)

I, on the other hand, have a very unusual name. Most people have no idea how to spell it, and some don't even know how to say it (Mat-il-DA. Duh!) Theerfore, most people call me Maddie. Ah, well. I like it!

I know three Olivias, haha.
Two Micheala/McKaylas.
Hmm... I'm not sure how many Rachels, a lot...
Three Naomis.
Three Charles'.
In SC we knew three Paityns.
And now I gotta go.
