hmm, would've expected Alex and Sam to be on there. Tried Jacky and Johnny, why didn't I try it with ie in stead of y?

Rigga -- I'm guessing it's because "Alex" and "Sam" are nearly always short for "Alexandra" and "Samantha" in girls.

It's because no one called girls "Alex" and "Sam" back in 1960. Samantha wasn't a popular name for girls until "Bewitched" aired, and Alexandras were usually called "Sandy". (The Willies, Jessies, Johnnies, Terrys, Robbies and Jackies were nearly always short for something else as well.)

damn this was very hard. I kept going for the obvious ones like Shelby, Courtney, Ashley, Hilary, Morgan, Carol, Lauren, Lindsay, Jade, Dakota, Kelsey, Mackenzie, Carey, and they didnt appear.
