Guess when I was born... Went to school with James, William, Dan, John, Joseph, David, Elizabeth, Lisa, Margaret, Debbie, Carolyn, Bonnie, Susan, Karen, Michael, and Peter. Most of the Karens I knew were nice people. They don't deserve the bad rap.

Sometime in the last hundred years?

Those dude names are common across generations. Debbie and Lisa were popular baby names in the 50s & 60s, Margaret and Carolyn too. I'm guessing you graduated high school around 1975-1980.
