Can't believe I actually clicked on the site with a name like John.
My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
My name is after Sarah, a Hebrew princess. Popular in Sweden and USA in the 1950's
There were two of us at school and our parents became friends. She passed the 11 plus, I didn't
Mine, a boys' and girls' name, peaked for girls in 1970 with 230/million.
When I was born mum wanted a boy, so chose a name that would cover both eventualities
At that time it was a mere 100/million.
Trouble is most people spell my name the male way, which is a tad annoying
My real name peaked in 1920s 122 per million
The name everyone knows me by peaked in 1880s 1.216 per million
( but isn't accurate because these are the numbers for the male population )
Is everyone nicely confused?
Didn't know Small Pumpkin was a proper given name!
There were 5 Richards in my gang of mates as kids in the 1950's, that's how I ended up being called burn and it's stuck ever since. There's a lot of people that never knew my real name, which came in handy now and then lol.
Oh and apparently I'm a noble leader and a whole ruck of kings had the same name......(really!!?)
Mine peaked in the 1960's so Mum must have had quite a bit of foresight! It's Hebrew and means "to seize the heel" so anyone wanting to take me for a fool - watch out!
I work very hard so please don't expect me to think as well!
Mine peaked in the 1900s. No surprise why I'm often the only one most people have ever met. They sometimes vaguely remember a faded maiden aunt with the same name...
