I'm 30 and looking at my high school yearbook there was 1 Logan, 2 Brians, and 5 Sarahs. None of the other names appear. That makes the 2nd graph pretty accurate. However, I managed to avoid the chicken pox, so I got the vaccine when I was 12.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.40|108.162.237.40]] 15:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC) | I'm 30 and looking at my high school yearbook there was 1 Logan, 2 Brians, and 5 Sarahs.

Logan becomes less popular at age 30. Coincidence? --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.10|162.158.126.10]] 19:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC) | Logan becomes less popular at age 30. Coincidence? --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.10|162.158.126.10]] 19:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC) | ||

:: I’m pretty sure the above was referencing the “Logan’s Run” and “Logan’s World” TV series and books, not X-men. It was meant as a joke.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.16|162.158.78.16]] 04:54, 3 February 2018 (UTC) | :: I’m pretty sure the above was referencing the “Logan’s Run” and “Logan’s World” TV series and books, not X-men.

OK. Grammar check now. How many people actually have all six of these names? Can't be too many of them. | OK. Grammar check now. How many people actually have all six of these names? Can't be too many of them. | ||

Another grammar check: I'm struggling to understand "fraction of kids my age". My age is 41; there are no kids my age, only adults. | Another grammar check: I'm struggling to understand "fraction of kids my age". My age is 41; there are no kids my age, only adults. | ||

As a parent with five children born between 1980 and 1988 before the chickenpox vaccine was available, I recall a phenomena called ''Chickenpox Parties''. If you had a preschooler and heard about a neighbor's child who had the chickenpox, you would arrange a playdate with sick child so that your child would catch the disease young and then be ''inoculated'' against catching it later when it was believed to have worse prognosis. Apparently this is no longer in fashion. See this article [https://www.parents.com/health/vaccines/chicken-pox/chickenpox-parties/] So the joke could be rewritten, "People named 'Sarah' and 'Brian' are more likely to have been invited to a chickenpox party than people named 'Logan' and 'Harper'." P.S. one of my 5 is named Sarah and none are named Logan or Harper.
