Scott was probably the most common boy's name in my class--I wonder why it was more popular in our area. And, now that I think of it, we had lots of Erics and Jasons, too.
Since we weren't in a particularly Irish area, we had more Shauns and Shawns than Seans. I remember thinking as a 6-year-old that Sean was a stupid way to spell it because the H was missing and it looked like it should be pronounced "seen." Now there's no WAY I'd name a son Shaun or Shawn, but I'd consider Sean if I didn't already know there's no way I could ever convince Dylan to go for it.
