A Dying Breed
Talking to one of the other guys in my yoga class this morning. He happened to be another Mike. We laughed, but agreed we are a dying breed. When I was young it was commonplace to have 4 other Mike's in class with me. Now a days it hardly ever happens. I don't think Mike has been in the top 10 in years. We had a run for about 25 years being the number 1 name then in the 80's it started slipping. It's weird to be in a room now a days and have several Norms and Dons, but no other Mikes. I have to admit I like it. That uniqueness that was never there as child has finally arrived.

Hmmm, so how many Mike's do I know, and know of, including your own brother?! ;) Anyway, there wre FIVE Robin's in my gym class one year. I've never even liked the name, but it is less common now. -- Robin
My name was fairly popular when I was young.
My son has the same problem now.....there are tons of Tylers in his school....

your right, not as many Mike's anymore as there used to be.
