According the Social Security Administration, the most popular baby names in 2002 are:
"Emily has been the No. 1 name for girls since replacing Jessica in 1996. Madison and Hannah have been in the top 10 since 1997.
Jacob has been the most popular name for boys since 1999, when it ended Michael's impressive 35-year run in the top spot. "

This made me wonder how many Michaels and Christophers and Susans and Jennifers there are behind all of our unique monikers.
Looking back on my elementary school classes, it seems like there were always 3 Christophers, Susans, Michaels, Stevens (varied spelling) etc. which required the use of the last initial to differentiate.
r(hated my name as a kid, but never had to use an initial; hi MR!)p
P.S. E/O, thanks for fixing my code, I would have gone back and done it myself but (1) I know you like to do it and (2) I was likely to double post, like the filter-lighter that I am.
