Where To Watch
Can guess the decade when these baby names were most popular?
Can you remember the most popular name in your school?
Think back to all your schoolmates. If you were in school in the 1960s and 1970s, odds are you were surrounded by a bunch of Marys. You might be a Mary yourself. It was a massively popular name for babies in the 1950s and 1960s… not to mention the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s.
On the boys' side, James dominated for much of the mid-20th century.
But what about other names? We're going to give you a popular baby name. Can you guess when it was most popular, according to the Social Security Administration? To make it easier — kind of — you only have to guess the decade.

12/12. Names are a passion of mine. When other people ask for a new baby's weight or length, my first question is always what is the name...and why. I believe that names should have a good "why".
4/12. Pathetic! Lol
I knew several, especially the name Jennifer, since I have several friends by that name as well as my youngest sister, and all of them except one were born in the 70s.
Didn't even try

10/12 I missed Linda and Jason.
Do you pronounce it "ma-REE-ah" (say it loud and there's music playing) or "ma-RYE-ah" (like they call the wind)? How do you solve a problem like that?
10/12 missed 3 and 5, funny I thought my husband's grandma was named Angela and she
certainly wasn't from the 70s. Actually I had an great Aunt with that name too, go figure.
my grands are named Alyssa, Christopher and Anthony :-) all 90s kids

9/12. 6, 8 and 10. And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him...JODO OR AKIRA, ANY DAMN THING BUT MICHAEL OR JOHN! THOSE NAMES ARE TOO ORDINARY!
I know absolutely anyone named John, its not in any school I have been in, so John would be the new Tyler :-)
My son's name is Tyler. He was born in 1995
