| southernyankee | posted 17-Apr-2005 12:31am I know at least 2 charlies/charleses. I think I might know a Richard (Richy to be exact) but no one uses the nickname "dick" anymore. I know a Jamie, I know at least 3 Jonathans and maybe even a Johnny. I know maybe one Robert, but I do know a lot of "Roberts" as a last name. (btw: I dont think I know of any Bob's.) I definatly know a Michale or two. I know a Will and a few Bills (I had no idea there was a connection).
And why do I get the feeling that this is a caviartaste survey? |

| darkshadowsseeker | posted 17-Apr-2005 2:19am I really don't know. This isn't something I keep track of. |

Mary - 2 Michael - 3 Will - 2 David - 1 Richard - 2 Joseph - 1 (This was kind of tough because I go to an all girls school and 9 of these names are masculine...except I DO know a girl named Johnnie. If the names Ashley, Margaret, Megan, or Katie were on there, i'd have a hayday!) |

| ROCKMAN | posted 17-Apr-2005 8:17am I know a lot of all of these names. It would take me o long to count them all up for each name. Dave, Mike, and John would be the most. Like I know probably without counting them 20 Johns and 20 Mikes. I know a lot of people and see a lot of them all the time. Hell I know 6 other Randys that I see all the time. As a matter of fact we all know each other too. |
| ROCKMAN | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 8:27am I like your survey, 
I can't believe so many people don't know more people with these common names. Sheltered lives I guess. |
| Dino | posted 17-Apr-2005 8:39am At least 2 of each, except Mary.
I don't know any Mary's. |
| Biggles | posted 17-Apr-2005 9:44am I'm assuming middle names don't count and defining "knowing" as seeing them on a reasonably regular basis...
James/Jamie - 2, but one of those is stretching it a bit. John - 0 Robert - 1 Mary - 0 Michael - 0 William - 0 David - 2, but again one of those is stretching it. Richard - 0 Charles - 0 Joseph - 1. Interesting that 3 of the 6 I know are close family members. |

| Iseult | (reply to ROCKMAN) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:12am Thanks.
I 'know' more people than this with these names, just that I haven't seen them in ages so I don't really count it as knowing. |
| Iseult | (reply to gingersnap) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:13am I don't think that it matters that you know a female Johnnie. I know a girl named Charlie and I still counted her. Many male names these days are unisex. |
| Iseult | (reply to patarnone) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:15am See it for yourself - I used this website for reference - http://www.namestatistics.com/ |
| ROCKMAN | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:41am I see. I see so many people that I know on a regular basis because of my businesses and hobbies and things. Saturday I went on a poker run with my Harley and there were about a hundred Bikers there and I knew over half of them. That's only part of my Biker Buddy crowd. Then there's my horseback riding crowd of friends. Then I have a couple other big groups of friends. I know a ton of people!! |
| Iseult | (reply to ROCKMAN) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:52am Somebody's popular!!! 
|
| ROCKMAN | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 11:00am I do get around a lot.
Bikers and Horse lovers are both tight groups of people. |
| ElvisFan67 | posted 17-Apr-2005 12:09pm I currently know more than one of all of the names mentioned. |
| gingersnap | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 12:42pm Charlie's such a great name for a girl. It always reminds me of Catherine Zeta-Jones' character in High Fidelity. |
| sexy1 | posted 17-Apr-2005 1:05pm i know one james, two johns, one bobby, one mary, one will, two davids, one richard, one charles, and lastly three joes |

The Daves are the hardest to keep track of, but they all have nicknames - StrangeDave, ComedyDave, XeroxDave, etc. |

| patarnone | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 4:29pm I believed you, just thought it'd be interesting to see how they arrived at their results. I worked for the US Census in 1980, 1990, and 2000. If I'm still kicking, will work the 2010 one, too. |

| darkroomdanny | (reply to southernyankee) posted 17-Apr-2005 5:35pm Some Richards in the UK still use "Dick", even Richards' under 40! |
| RainingFeathers | posted 17-Apr-2005 7:07pm I know 1 John, 1 Robert, 3 Mike/Michaels, 1 William, 2 Dave/Davids, and 1 Rich. |

| southernyankee | (reply to Iseult) posted 17-Apr-2005 10:12pm I never meet a Christopher for some reason. |

Michael>>>>Very good friend William>>> Ex-Husband (also went by, Bill and Willie) David>>>>My Cousin Richard>>>>Chat Buddy for a few yrs..(does that count?) Charles>>>>My Cousin Joseph>>>>A kid that comes over to play with my son. |
| thevelvetcure | posted 18-Apr-2005 5:34am  Chris isn't listed? |
| they | posted 18-Apr-2005 12:41pm My daughter's name is Mary... This name is mostly just common with old ladies and the occasional catholic. |
| Iseult | (reply to thevelvetcure) posted 18-Apr-2005 3:15pm Chris is a split between Christopher, Christian, and myriad other names from which it can be derived. The list that I used for this dealt with proper names not nicknames.
Do you want to have a common name? |
| thevelvetcure | (reply to Iseult) posted 18-Apr-2005 3:25pm Not entirely, I only mentioned Chris for the reason you mentioned. Throughout 1st grade - high school, there were always at least one other 'Chris' or some such derivative, and often there were two others.
(only the ones that I've known) Christopher (4) Kris (1) Christine (2) Christina (1) Kristy (1) -------------- 9 total James = 1 Mary = 0 John = 3 |

| Enigma | posted 14-May-2005 12:32am Used to work with a Charles everyone called Jerry but he's dead. Had an Aunt Mary and an Uncle Bill but they are dead too. I have a cousin Joe I rarely see so he doesn't fit your criteria either. Went to grade school with a Bob and a Mary but that's a looong time ago. |
