1 most common name!!

which name is the most common name??

jeSSica

maybe tom, i know atleast 12 toms'. Its got potential

Matthew I think, it's most definitely a biblical name (here in the UK at any rate)

hmm....i seemed to notice that, Bret, lol. I've met already like 5 matthews from England just on this site....weird, but cool!

Brittany and Ashley are pretty common.

Amy is popular and so is Sarah and I think so is Nicole, last year in one of my classes there were 3 Nicole's and one Nicola..it was so annoying

This is for the USA from the 1990 census. I won't have changed too much from then.

Biblical first or, (not so) ironically Christian names are always most popular.

Surnames follow the historical trend of trades.

Looking for something more recent now

It's weird, my older sister's name is Amy and that's quite common and so is Lauren - another one of my sisters - and Ashley - one more of my sisters, and my name is Lydia and it's not common at all.

Except I went to hungry jacks the other day and a chick who served me had the same name!

OH YEAH!!!

-Lyd

Yeah, I know what you mean. My sister's name is Aviva, which is really uncommon. My name is Zoe and when I was born it was uncommon, but my brother's name is Benjamin...VERY common.

There are a lot of Sarah's around here...thankfully none in my class...(I am a Sarah)....Amanda is pretty popular around here too...and Katelyn/Kaitlyn/Caitlin/ect. ect.

And for guys...I see a lot of Kyles...and Davids...

the most common name in the world is Mohammed. its a muslim name.
