I know several Alisons, several Jennifers, and a lot of Kelly's both male
and female. I also know, a bunch of aAmandas, and a lot of Becky's. But I
am the only Shelley. Not short for anything... smile.

Hi Allison,
Maybe it is a regional thing. I'd have to say I know more Allisons than
either Jennifers or Kellys. This list aside, I know 5 or more Allisons, 2
Jennifers, no female Kellys, but 1 male Kelly.
