Today, I have the top 4 most common names for each grade in my school from last year, 2012.
Not all of these are accurate, as some students' pictures are not in the yearbook, which is where I got this info.
Listed with the name is the grade, age of the students in that grade, what year they were born, and popularity of the name then and now. All spellings of names are taken into account.
*disclaimer: when I write "number of students", I mean in that grade, not in the whole school.*
