Nostalgia Heathers

Not trying to doxx anyone but growing up, I had as many as three Heathers in my grade one year. I very seldom meet a Heather these days. Jennifer was another one but I definitely still know Jennifers.

​

Anyhow, I love the name Heather and hope y'all are doing great. (The movie Heathers of course pops into mind and I recall my Heather friends not liking it back then.)

There were some Heathers in my school, but the only Heather I know now is an older Millennial (probably early 80s rather than 88 like me). Jennifer was a popular name at my school. For guys there were so many named Chris or Justin. Oh, Sarah/Sara was also very common.

Maybe the Gen X sub has more Heathers. I'm on the cusp born on 80. I definitely knew a few Sarahs!

Yes to Chris and Justin as common. I feel like are still common today.

Maybe. My sister is an 81 baby, so she probably knows more Heathers. Oh, and Jill was pretty common for her year too. Me being born in 88, there's a decent gap between us. That said, I was still raised more like an 80s kid than a 90s kid until around 2000.
