Names that end with en like Kayden, Jayden, and Hayden. Raiden was never part of it unfortunately.

Used to work in a fairly high end ski hotel. In February we would get dozens of little kids all going for ski lessons. I used to label their skis so they wouldn’t get mixed up, but I always had to also ask the surname so I could write “Olivia T, Olivia M, Emily P, Olivia B, Emily H, Emily S” then start on the boys “Tom D, Tom A, Oliver G, Tom J, Oliver H…”

Also when someone asked me to get their luggage from the car - “It’s a black Audi”

You don’t fucking say. Which of the ten black Audis is it, Oli?

Don’t get me started on the number of Toms, Olivers, and Olivias at my daughter’s school.

When these kids start working in offices, is going to usher back in the day of calling all co-workers by their surname “Hey Jonson, I have that report for you from Smith. Thanks Brown.”

I think they used to do that back in the 70s and 80s because everyones firsnames were all James, and Peter.

You remember my wife, Megan Duffy, maiden name Duffy, hopefully no relation.

That line is funny by itself, but how he delivered the “hopefully no relation” part so casually made it 10x funnier.

Apparently, looking at a government website:

Jennifer Jessica Amanda Sarah Melissa

Michael Matthew Jason Christopher Joshua

And this 100% lines up with my classmates’, friends’, and family members’ names.
