Karen never reached the top spot. She would like to speak to a manager to fix this problem.
Sean Patrick This sort of offends me.
Karen V. Negrete I can go get my supervisor if you’d like

Seas would rise when I gave the word
I love how Elizabeth left the list and came back like 10 times😂
It's a lovely, regal name - and yet I go by my middle name, lol
as an Elisabeth I tell you: THERE ARE TOO FRIGGIN MANY OF US!!!
like EVERYWHERE
@@elisabethreiter2707 Right? So I go by my middle name - Kathy - but there were 4 of us in my sophomore math class, so I guess that wasn't much better, lol!
Queen Elizabeth made this name popular
Yea... my name is Elizabeth, but I’m the only one with it! There is just one annoyance about it.. Atleast 10 of my friends have it as a middle name!
Mary be like:
“I used to rule the world..Until Lisa..
Linda
Linda
thank you ouma, very cool
So Lisa which is short for Elisabeth or just lisa because I see both in this video
I know someone named Mary who has daughters Linda and Lisa 😂
When Linda overthrew Mary in the 1940s I felt that 😔
datspoon0 My moms name is a Linda and she was born in 1959.
Linda means turd in sindhi
and then right after linda went downhill and mary became unstoppable again 😎✊🏼
Linda's are the meanest
I used to work with 5 Linda’s, all in the age range to be born when that name was all the rage.
Funny how “Rose” enters the list the year the Titanic went down.
Or maybe James Cameron did his research, to find out what was the most popular girls name at the time
Jayrod M r/woooosh
Ryder Logic it. Is. Not. REDDIT!
STOP LINKING SUB REDDITS
Kaddywompous and rachel when friends show was popular

@Spread The Truth Christians would like to know yoir location.
@Spread The Truth names dont mean shit
@@NatLoobi Tell that to Karen, she will want to speak to your manager
5:42 "Rachel" starts climbing up the list in 1994. The TV show Friends started in 1994.
Also, at 6:06 "Emma" shoots to the top of the list in 2002. That same year, Friends character Rachel Greene names her daughter Emma.
*Coincidences? I think not.*
I am suprised how jennifer didn't come back for that exact reason.
@Baila Miller sorry my bad
@Baila Miller bruh the show started 26 years ago and ended 16 years ago. you cant possibly complain about spoilers lol
@Baila Miller I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way, I was just joking around lol. I hope you enjoy watching the rest of the show! Have a nice day😊
I guess Emma name became popular bcuz of star Emma Watson . Remember Harry potter also released during similar time
Who looks at their baby and says ”ah yes you look like a Mildred”
they would nick name them Millie :}
Or Linda 😂
Mildew more like it.
Morgan.Warner that’s when the parents messed up
their mother and father
Jennifer really didn’t have to hit so hard in the 70s like that
Thats my name. And I cant believe it was so popular in the 70s tho I love the 80s more than the 70s...
my sister is named Jennifer lol
@@SirParcifal oh wow
I was born in '75, and there were no fewer than 4-5 Jennifers in my class every year throughout my school years. Oh, Melissas and Amys too. Also, everyone's middle name was Marie or Ann, too.

3:20 - Linda takes Mary's throne

Mary: Yes im most popular!
Emma:
Mary: Who are you?
Emma: Im you *but stronger.*
Remember Emma Charlotte Duearre Watson
“Mary” would probably be considered quite fresh and unexpected on a baby girl now.
My friends call me a grandma since my name is Helen lol. I’m 14 so-

Okay, but who looks at a baby and thinks ‘Deborah’
I can’t hear that name without thinking ‘middle-aged divorcee’.
My grandparents apparently because thats my moms name
Maybe they thought debby?
I don't see anything wrong with that name...

@@candicoated2001 Lol. I was born single and that's how I'm gonna stay!
It was quite sad to see Mary and Elizabeth drop for some reason.
Why
my name I’m not sure
Well, Mary was historically the name of two prominent women in the Bible, so maybe the decline in religious beliefs in areas of the country could be a factor? John and James were once far and away the leading boy names for the same reason.
Mary: is the most popular name for centuries
Linda: hold my sweet tea
Mon The Monster
Lisa : Hold my coffee
Mr. Bleach Emma: hold my boba
Bruh linda got 99,000 O.O
I wish i dont have a ber in from of linda ;c
Jennifer: You didn’t have to kick me like that :(
Nice profile picture ;)
1960: Everyone suddenly decides to name their daughter Lisa.
You know, I don't meet to many Lisas. Wonder why? Is it because of Lisa Simpson?
Edward Gaines half the girls in my high school were named Lisa from 1981 to 1985. The other half were named Amy.
Edward Gaines Perhaps it’s a generational thing, but I knew a ton of them growing up.
@@Sullivanin A girl at my local Kinkos is named "Lyssa." I know, cringe-worthy.
So apparently Mona Lisa's first US tour was in 1963.

People have been naming their girls Emma for longer that you think. Emma was an alternative to Erna back in the day, but now I think it’s short for emily or something
@@owenquinn9488 the video is right there to tell you people have not in any quantity
...
Literally what I thought
4:20 Patricia be like: It's been an honor.
Mother: “oh, Mary!” Everyone else in the whole world: “Coming, mother!”
*1880-1962*
*Teacher does attendance*
Is Mary here?
*12 other Marys:* hErE

We have 3 adians 😂
I’m a mary lol
Karen didn’t make the top list
“Honey its a waste of time.”
She was ther for like 2 seconds. Dont worry
She was up there in the 1950s
Karen be like
"If I don't get to dat top, FRICK U ALL"
*Emma made it to the top of the list*
“It was still a waste of time.”
The almighty karen didn't make it :(
Mary: exists
Linda: I'm bout a end this girls whole career
Also Linda: *ends career*
Mary: sike
20 years later (I think)
*jennifer has entered the chat*
You forgot about LIsa
Imagine a teenager talking to their parents in 1985:
"I'm going to the movies with Jennifer tonight."
"Okay, wait...which one?"
You could make that joke for Mary and Lisa as well to be honest.
Everyone else: These names
My mom: I'm gonna name you by the Greek world Xanthia which means yellow
Me in sportsfest: puts me in GREEN team
Also me: how ironic
Namin’ a child be like:
“This is a definite Mildred “
Mildred isn't too bad in my opinion (definitely not the worst one), but you know times change.. I'm sure it was considered a pretty/eloquent name back then.
I enjoy your humor though, take a free like :p
Lol what about Bessie? It sounds like what you would name your horse
stolen comment
Mildred sounds too much like mildew to me 😅
oHhHHhhhH bEsSiEeEEeeE~~
Linda: starts to get popular
Mary: why do i hear boss music
My nanny's name is Linda
Congrats for the 1m subs, i think u can bit 10m
Mary thrived for 83 years. That’s impressive 😂
And depressing at the same time.
deborah: who are you
debra: i’m you, only stronger *takes her spot*

JENNIFER HERE

Love this!
Most of these are like: "Lets dance!"
Mary: i am inevitable
Jennifer: and i am Jennifer
I was born in the early 80s. I knew so many Jennifers.... Jenny Jennie Jenni Jeni Jenn. And a Jinyphr. Because why not go for the #1 name but also guarantee that no one will guess the spelling. Ever.
Hello I was summoned
@@JusttStoppingBy That was original.
Amy yes I too was born in the early 80s. Every year in school there were minimum 3-4 Jennifers. My residence floor in first university, out of 15 or so girls, there were three Jennifers.
Always say that when I meet another Jennifer I know we are close in age. Always multiple Jennifer’s in class. Had to go by abbreviated versions Jennifer, Jenn, Jenny... dislike being called Jenny to this day.
Lisa was like “move Mary it’s my turn!”
Circa: 1960
Edit: thanks for the likes 😁
I liked invisibly because i don't wanna ruin the 69 likes
Fuck you Lisa

“Elizabeth” has been and always will be one of the most timeless names.
Yeah this name has many different versions in other languages such as Elsa, Lisa, Beth, Elizavetta, Else and etc.
Katie Elizabeth just makes me think of the Victorian times
I agree. There are a lot of famous people with the name Elizabeth. Sometimes people call me Liz.
I agree. It’s very pretty and it reminds me of Victorian era, yet it still manages to have a timeless feel to it. If I ever have kids I wanna name my daughter Elizabeth
as an elizabeth thank you

Jennifer: I am queen
