Sorry for what can undoubtedly be viewed as spammage, but I’m still trolling on the Quebec naming site, and I compiled this list of how often my name (or variations therefore) showed up in 2002.  I was really impressed – my name doesn’t seem particularly popular.

Lauriexxxxxxxxxxxxxx????

Oh dear. Why?

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

We're still thinking about that one. Some say it's the surname crossed out - I say parents are stupid. :)

Laurie is that common in Quebec? Wow. That's my mom's name, and I very rarely come across others with the same spelling. There's a lot of Lori, but nearly all in their 40s or 50s.

I was surprised as well, since I grew up in Quebec in the 80s/90s and knew of no one else with my name. I wonder what popularised it?

I love Laurie, but it's my sister's name so I'm biased. ;)

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

My sister's name is Krystle, and I hate it. :)

I'm a Lori and I'm 32. I would like to nominate Lori for the most often mispelled four letter word in history:)

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

I'm Laurie, and I'm 24. People always misspell MY name as Lori (sometimes I even get Laura, Lauren, Laurel, Lorraine ...)

I think I'm going to name my kid Lauriexxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN'T! I ALREADY CALLED IT! I want to name an unfortunate offspring after myself but with an obvious twist.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Damn. Was going to call dibs on Lauriexxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Maybe I'll spell it Lauriexxxxxxxxxxxxxxeighy. That'll do. BTW, I LOVE YOUR ICON. Where the hell did you find it!?

btw I know a girl who lives in Winnipeg named Lori-Love Leigh (first name & last name)

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

EW. EWWWWWWWWWW.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Yeah, she goes by Leigh. Just Leigh. Her last name. Poor girl.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Why are parents so ... dumb?

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

I have NO idea. I asked myself the same question.

[ex-bluebonn.livejournal.com]

Can't remember who made it - but if you go look at my icon page, the person who made it has loads more IIRC. Cat macros = love.

[sheshellabella.livejournal.com]

Agreed.
