Want verification that you were among 15 Michaels in your class? Check out the Baby Name Wizard. Yype in a name and you’ll see a graph that maps the name’s popularity from 1990 to 2003.

Jennifer ranked #1 in the 1970s, so my parents were a little ahead of their time, but not by much, I shared many classrooms with more than a couple other Jennifers in my day. Being the lone Jen made things a wee bit easier, the others tended towared Jennie/Jenny as their nicknames.

1. My name has been on the decline since the ‘60’s.

   I’m not sure what, exactly to make of that.

   OTOH, the Spousal Unit™’s hasn’t been on the radar since the ‘40’s.  Heh.  :)

   (And “husband” is my secret password for this comment to boot.  How ‘bout that?)

2. “David” peaked in the 1960’s, but there were still plenty enough of them in the 70’s so that there seemed to always be at least one other in every class with me straight from kindergarten to law school.
