How ‘Millennial’ Is Your Name?
People love to tease Millennials. But the truth is, if you're reading this, you probably are one. Anyone born between 1982 and 2004 is defined as a Millennial, so I absolutely fall into that group.
NameBerry tabulated the names of all babies born during that period, and the most popular ones definitely don't surprise me.
Take a look at the top ten for boys and girls, along with the total number of babies given that name:

I absolutely agree with Jessica being the most popular female name. I graduated high school in 2004, and it seemed like every other girl in my class was named Jessica. I was kind of surprised that my name, Andrew, wasn't higher...but I'm also kind of used to being seventh-best at stuff at this point, so it's no biggie.
