Names in the news

Yes, my Mum thought Susan was unusual too - at the height of its popularity - and there always seemed to be four of us in my class at school! My middle name is Mary, which didn't help at all, especially as I went to Roman Catholic schools.
 
When I came out to Ontario to go to college, who did I have in my class ( only about 30 girls altogether), another Susan with a birthday the same day..:eek:
 
Apparently my first name was never in the top ten, perhaps my mum wanted me to be unique. :)
 
I 'belong' to the 1950's and everyone assumed I was named after Princess Anne (not, so, she has an 'e' and I don't) - I suppose that was the reason for the increase in popularity of the name at that time. My parents called me Ann as it was a name which couldn't be shortened......they never took into account that it could be lengthened :oops:

Ann
 
We named our son Jordan in the very early 90's as it was unusual!! But when he went to school there were three of them in the class! :eek: Turns out that particular year it was in the top 10 names for boys... :rolleyes:
 
My parents named me Colin. When I asked - where did the name come from? - I was told that I was named after the 1st name of the Doctor who delivered me. So, it wasn't the stork.o_O

Another reason was that on one of his visits [before I was Christened], I produced a 'stream' and christened hit trilby hat!

My parents left my middle name blank and I never added one. When I applied for my 1st passport [when I was coming to Canada] I was asked to provide my middle name and since there was none, the passport was issued as follows: surname, Colin, Blank, which caused quite a family chuckle.
