There's a lot of people at Lincoln. More than 1600, in fact. But have you ever wondered how common your name is? I myself am a little bit of an Excel nerd, and I crunched some numbers. Here's a breakdown of everyone's names (even you, Tyler).

Most Common First Letter

You know when your teacher makes you line up in alphabetical order? Here's a chart showing first letter frequencies:

The blue bars are total names starting with a letter (so if there's 45 Sophias at Lincoln, the bar would be 45 for S), while the orange bars are unique names. From this data, we see that the most common first letter is A, followed by M and J.

Most Common Name Length

Something commonly overlooked is name length. The shortest name at Lincoln is one letter long (kind of questioning that, to be honest), and the longest is 12 letters. Here's that distribution:

Most Common Names

It's the one you've all been waiting for, most common names!!! Lincoln's most common name wins by a landslide. You can probably guess it, it's Sophia with 15 people, .94% of the school. However, if you also add Sofia and Sophie, you get 26 people, making up 1.6% of the school. Following Sophia, we've got 14 Benjamins, Evans, and Owens, 12 Miles, and 11 Alexanders and Jacobs. Also as an honorable mention, there are 9 Jonahs, meaning Jonahs make up .56% of the school. You definitely needed to know that one.

If you didn't get named in that list, congrats! You have a unique name!
