I like this, but would like to know the original source. Still a cool list.
When writing my novel i did a rough guess of the general age of the “neighbor friends” and found a (USA) database of government collected public information with the most used names for each state by year. So I took three female names for “the girls” in Tennessee. Then a friend out west complained that I had used all “Valley Girl” names, and that I should have used southern names. She had never been to the state, but apparently driving through a neighboring state 20 years before made her an expert. LOL. All you can do is laugh…

You’re correct, it’s always best for authors to do their own research to verify things Teagan. I find and post this kind of info as a guideline or possibility only 🐵
