It is strange how 'fad' names get repeated. Around here every young lady about 18 or 19 is named Jessica. Those slightly older are all named Jennifer. It wouldn't do them any good to wear nametags. The toddler girls are all named Hannah. As for the boys, biblical names are back in fashion: Noah, Jed, Matthew and Mark. No Jims, Bobs, Johns or Bills. I wonder if the southerners still use double names like Billy Bob? I always thought those names were super!
