I thought there's more millennials than boomers now. But millennials probably have more variety of names. I think Jennifer is common among millennials and Gen X. Maybe less common post-1995.
Jennifer is extremely common amongst at least some of GenX. Michelle and Lynn (or Lyn or Lin), were also very common. When I was in school, almost half the girls in my classes were named either Jennifer, Michelle, or Lynn.
Michael was also ridiculously popular, too. There were 3 Michaels in most of my classes, too.
As you might guess, roll call was pretty repetitive...it was a relief from the monotony when some other name was called.
Heh, that would definitely have relieved the monotony!
After college, I had trouble getting a job (graduating in a recession is not fun), so I did some substitute teaching while hunting for a permanent job. In one of my classes was a girl named Lasagna. Yes her name was spelled and pronounced exactly like the food.
Before anyone draws the wrong conclusions, this girl was in the top five of her high school class academically and seemed like a really great young lady. Her parents didn't do her any favors with that name, though!
karen is quite popular in that boomer demographic (the demographic with the most people... i think).

You mean a rare name such as this.

Jennifer, Jason, and David were very popular in my generation (Gen X).
