Why so many Jims

[JCR GD]

How 'bout a light hearted conversation about why there are so many Jims on this site.

I'll start...

Grand Design dealers make better deals for people named Jim.

 

[LCBoyer]

Not many Leonard's

Better credit............it's all about the credit

Jim (of course)!!!

Hey, at least my parents were smart enough not to spell it Gym!

 

[Second Chance]

There are also at least three of us on the forum named Rob. Here's my theory:

1. Many of us who are now heavily into RVing were born in the 1940s and 1950s.
2. According to the U.S. Social Security Administration, the tops boys' names in the 1940s were James, Robert, John, William and Richard (in that order). The top names in the 1950s were James, Michael, Robert, John, and David. (I would imagine that it wasn't too different for the English-speaking parts of Canada).

One of the several Robs...

[RamGunner]

I always wanted to be named Larry, and have two brothers named Darryl

 

[Bob/OlallaWA]

Born in the early 50s . . . and I have two first cousins, born the same year . . . also named Robert.
Oh yeah . . . my brother, two years younger, is Jim.
Apparently there was a shortage of names in the early 50s .

Another Rob

Jim Bob Cooter - may be a good football coach with a fun name......born 1984 ........another great Jim I am sure........wonder if he has a GDRV yet ?

The best Jim though is Jim Croce .......remember this ?

"You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim"

I really don't have anything to add, but I thought I'd throw my hat in the ring anyway.
