One of my duties at work is to go through all the lab rosters in the first day of class and call roll. Thus, I get a decent feel for the sorts of names that are common in that cohort.
This year, it's Jared. Or Jarod. Or Jerod. Or Jerrod. Or Jarred. Or Jerrad. I've seen all of these. In one class, due to a fluke of alphabetical ordering, there was a Jarod, a Jared and a Jerod all in a row on the roster. Haven't seen something like that since I was a TA for a summer course in 1992, when I had three Tamicas (Tamica, Tamika, Tamiqua) in one class.
