Not really ironic.. more of a sign of the times/ages.
Most of my clients fall in a certain age range. During those ranges, biblical names and other sets were extremely popular.
For example -
(ripped from a stupid site, so not sure how accurate)
James
There are 5,210,555 people in the U.S. with the first name James.
Statistically the 1st most popular first name.
John
There are 5,140,100 people in the U.S. with the first name John.
Statistically the 2nd most popular first name.
Michael
There are 4,134,939 people in the U.S. with the first name Michael.
Statistically the 4th most popular first name.
Richard(Dick)
There are 2,672,602 people in the U.S. with the first name Richard.
Statistically the 8th most popular first name.
Paul
There are 1,488,954 people in the U.S. with the first name Paul.
Statistically the 17th most popular first name.
So, if you happen to run across a buncha Dicks and Johns... it is prolly just because there are really a ton of fucking Dicks and Johns out there.
LOL
