Hmm... when you look at the top boys baby names for 2020 Graham is more
popular at 180 than Edward at 192.\

I was more than a little surprised to see that Henry was number 12.

Graham does not appear on the list of the top 1000 girls names.

Not a specific person, but apparently 13,015 girls were given that name
in 2019.

I don't know any others. I knew a guy with the name, many years ago.He
was a junior Engineering Officer. He was getting his SWOS while I was
getting my ESWS. He helped me with some engineering stuff and I helped
him with some Combat Systems stuff. Nice fellow, nothing odd about him.

Only in RFC. One can go cold turkey and the physical addition to
nicotine is over in less than a week. It's the psychological addiction
that can continue for a month or more....and even forever.

Bryan and John just like their chemistry sets.

When I hear Graham, I think either a guy or a cracker. Occasionally it
can be both.

On an Alaskan reality show, this one guy (and wife) named their
daughter, "Noah." That was odd to me too.

I'm not physically addicted to it. I think it's safe to say that I know more
about drug use than you do. Now, 200mg of caffeine and off to Menards
for kerosene.

Whereas guys called Graham are normally odd? The only Graham I know
-from RFC- is kinda odd, I have to agree.

In 2020 10,085 girls were named John and in 2016 17,328 girls were
named Pete. I think sometimes the parents are drunk when they register
their baby.

I wouldn't hold it against him. We have no control over where we're
born.

Archibald Scott Cleghorn was from Edinburgh. His daughter could have become the Queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii but alas, that did not come to pass.

Whereas guys called Graham are normally odd? The only Graham I know

LOL, no, nothing odd in the name, just uncommon as a name and the
Graham here isn't odd to me.

It's a derogatory term for an ignorant white person. An "Oreo" is a black person that acts like a white person. My wife's friend calls herself a "banana" i.e., yellow on the outside and white on the inside - an Asian that is culturally a white person. She said that my wife is the opposite of her - white on the outside with a yellow center. She called my wife an "egg."
