It does pretty much read like roll call from my childhood PE class.

I don't see "Gal" among those names. ;)
ReplyDeleteInterestingly, I don't remember knowing many "Andrea"s as a kid (three that I can think of), but as an adult I know quite a few Andrea who are within a few years of my age. Apparently it was the 28th most popular name in the 1970s (and presumably more popular in the earlier part of that decade).
Those are good solid names.
ReplyDeleteIf you were a List or a Susan you were instantly popular in the day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thursday!

These are not the names on my roster today, for sure.
