Jason. Of the 3 in my year, they all had nicknames so maybe that’s why I haven’t met an adult Jason

I was one of three Brians in my primary school class and then the same again in college. Don’t think I know another Brian now though, “there can be only one”

Going by the cso baby names list there are legions of Sean’s, Jacks and Connors, for boys the choice always defaults to a handful of names.

There was only one Kevin in my school, but now every other kid outside of Ireland in the English speaking world seems to be called Kevin.

All those Codys were not built to last. They were designed for short entertaining lives.
Just think back to context in which you always heard his name being shouted by teachers and parents.
“Cody! Get off that Roof!”
“Cody! Stop playing on the road!”
“Cody! Don’t drink the blue drink under the sink!”
Codys we headstrong and inquisitive. They were always the first to get into a strangers van, seeking the candy within.
They all took the hit, so you could have the chance to experience your adult life.
