Top Names of 1970

Came across this list and it reads like a who’s who of my besties! Huffington Post looking back in time 50 years to see what the top baby names of 1970 were. My classrooms were populated by these names. Did you make the Top 20? Check it out below (HuffPo has a full list of the Top 50 for both girls and boys. You can see it by clicking here.) I caught up with Lori (Name #23) on the Tbaytel Talk & Text Line about names and she had something pretty interesting to say about my own handle.

  • Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
