Since I am bored and on school holidays I am starting a new series on names from books. First is Hating Alison Ashley by Robin Klein.

Her name is at 352 currently and when the book was written it was at 205 and that was in 1984 and Erica is a teen so she would have been born in the early 70’s in which is was 204.

Alison Ashley: Alison Ashley is the perfect rich new girl who is Ericas rival. I am pretty sure Ashley is the characters last name but she is always referred to as Alison Ashley. Alison is currently at 393 when the book was written it was at 34 and in the early 70’s it was at 26.

Barry: Barry is the  bad boy and is always graffiting the school or setting fire to something. His name is no longer on the chart and in the 80’s it was at 209 and in the 70’s it was at 144.
