Totally different world from me, growing up with the second or third most popular girl's name in the country.
I know that feeling! When I was in elementary school, it seemed like every third girl was an Amy (or a Susan or a Karen).
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Well, weirdly-spelled. I've never met another Holli, though a few Hollys and plenty of Mollys.
ION, I bought $30 worth of vintage dresses at an estate sale this morning, which at $1 each translates to a LOT of dresses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Echo is a fine name as long as the parents aren't Dollhouse fans. Then it gets a little weird.
My thought exactly!
Also, I think kids get picked on if they are going to get picked on -- then the pickers-on choose what to make fun of.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This. Never got picked on for my name.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I don't think I've met a Susan (or any variation of) who is under 35 years old.
I have pretty glittery red nails and toes. They make me quite happy. And it was good to catch up with Nicole.

My husband, Michael, most common boy's name for 40 years running, got picked on for his name, so yeah, some kids just get picked on.
He grew up to be 6'6" and have a PhD, so he showed them!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ooo! 125? (The olive.)
Sorry, been busy today, but yes Plei. Cass was kind enough to send me a swatch. So purty. Sadly they were sold out of the holos, but I got a sparkly (I think the right term is flaky?) opalescent purple/blue and a forest green.
Jesse, I haven't read the article, but I will. That's one of my greatest fears.
