minus-squaredingus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·2 days agoYeah but it seems like some names are always somewhat popular no matter the era. “John” and “James” for example
minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 day agoI don’t think I’ve met a John that’s been in my school’s growing up or was ever younger than me. Most of the James I’ve met have been older than me or Asian (since Asian parents often gave their kids traditional Western names to assimilate).
