[Opinions] Re: Genypher?
in reply to a message by Lily
Jennifer might have been more popular in the past and seem dated, but it's still pretty popular. In the US, Jennifer is just outside the top 10 - making it more popular than Piper, McKenzie/Makenzie, Ashlyn, Jordan, Summer and other more modern names which you might expect to be more popular than "dated" Jennifer.
So Genypher might not be the only Jennifer around.

Not really. It's not just out of the top 10, it's at number 119. Piper and Summer aren't common, from my experience. Ashlyn, Jordan and McKenzie, Makenzie are but you forgot to count in the more common spellings. When you combine Ashlyn and Ashlynn and Mackenzie with McKenzie and Makenzie they are way more popular than Jennifer. Also Jordyn is more common that Jennifer and Jordyn and Jordan together are way more common.
I am pretty sure she'd be the only one around. I didn't meet many people with names below the top 50 from the year I was born in and there were more babies named with common names back then. There wasn't as much variety. Except for some names that were unusually common in my area at the time such as Bella, Ava, Anna and Chloe.
So I'd say when it's out of the top 100 you aren't likely to meet many. Unless the name is unusually popular in your state or area. Just from my experience, though.
