  • According to that, the three most popular boys' names in 1991 were Michael, Christopher, and Matthew. I know several guys my age named "Chris" and I know a couple "Michael"s too. I figured that "Nevan" was not going to be on the list :D

    It's not really that cool. There 5 of us in my first grade class. I was the fourth daughter and my parents gave my older sisters beautiful names, but ran out of ideas for me as well as assuming they would finally have a son. I wasn't even named for a few weeks after I was born.

    They had sensible names like James, Robert, William, David for the boys and Mary, Elizabeth, Jessie, and Margaret for the girls.
