Last week was Back to School Week on Jeopardy, featuring kids aged 10-12. Here are the names of the contestants (keep in mind, these are the names they ask to be called, so many are probably nicknames):
Girls
Emily (x2)
Dianisbeth
Michela
Mallory
Cary
Regina
Claire
Boys
Tommy/Tom (x2)
Bobby
William
Rowan
Scottie
Joe
No huge surprises. Dianisbeth is the only one that jumps out as ridiculous. (Sorry, but...no.) Michela is a legitimate Italian name, not a kre8tiv spelling of Michaela.
I actually thought the biggest surprise was the number of nicknames -- Tommy, Bobby, and Scottie rather than Thomas, Robert and Scott, etc. Most of the kids I know in this age range go by their full names.
