There’s a Michael in my daughter’s PK4 class.
Michael is still common, but I don't see anyone using the nickname Mike
Someone mentioned George, which did disappear for a while, but is making a comeback. I know several young kids named George.

Walter and George were fairly common as a kid but haven’t met one in 30 years or more.
Haven’t met a young Walter in a while, but I have a 4 year old George down the street.

I feel like I haven't seen a young Randall, Robert, or Matthew in a while.

I worked with an Aquanetta.
No lie.
This was in a professional corporate environment. I felt bad for her.

Can't remember the last time I heard a baby boy named Mark.

I have 3 millennial step-daughters. Don't get me started on the names of the grandkids AND how they are spelled.

lol, my name is still pretty popular and it ain’t George. Just looked at a list of the top baby names and I am in the top 100. George was not in the top 500.
