ased on the popularity of the name Michael over the
last five decades, there are likely to be a lot of variations in use by teachers
such as: Mike, Mike II, Mike Tall, Mike Short and Mick.
Interestingly, for eight decades
starting in the 1880s through the 1950s, Mary was always the top girls name.
From the 1960s forward each decade has had a different top pick for the girls,
but the boys settled in with Michael as most popular for five decades running.
