I just went through my FB friends...

nndidiamaka

... and I found:

5 Angelas

7 Jennifer/Jennys

6 Jessicas

5 Kate/Katherines

5 Marys

and 5 Michelles.

This doesn't include names that were only repeated 2 or 3 times, which would about triple the list.  I was surprised that none of the male names appeared more than 3 times.

 

And the most unusual name on my list? 

Ignatius.

 

What about you?

C_mo:

Did you count your Ashley's? Because I have 8 of them... I also know 3 couples named Dustin & Ashley.

I can almost say the same about Leanne's 

ETA: I would say the most unusual is Azure 

 

I actually only have ONE Ashley on my list!  I know a couple others IRL, but they're not Facebookers.

With the boy names,there are a few repeats (James,David,Christopher,Joshua) but not as many.

Most unusual:

Girls:Jerusha,Shona

Boys: Benton, Seamus, Noel (pronounced Nole)

Yasmyn totally reminds me of the birth control.  She's in her 40s, so she was named long before it was even on the market.

I would definitely say Jennifer was the most popular name when I was in school (I'm 32)

4 Jess/Jessicas

3 Nicks/Nicholas

3 Renees

But that was it! I'm surprised there weren't more. There's quite a few who were repeated twice though.

The most unusual: Possibly Catriona, Maevana, Rianne (pronounced Ryan), and Suzyo.

I didn't count all the duplicates but my most unusual name is Natasha. I guess I just don't know that many uniquely named people.

Mind the Gap

The most unusual name on your list (Ignatius) was my grandpa's name. I actually think it's kind of a cool name, but he requested that no one name any grandkids/great grandkids after him because he didn't like his name.

Can you tell I'm a child of the 80's? lol

Thought it was interesting that my bff (Jennifer) and I have the most common girl names in my list (of 721 friends)...and my husband's name shows up the most out of my friends too!
