Talk:Queen Anne/@comment-1835434-20130626182137/@comment-4929778-20180114022854

Years ago you didn’t name a baby because you liked the name; you named them to honor people like family, monarchs, saints etc. which would lead you to a family where there’s twelve annes and fifteen Davids. There actually was a point in English history where 75% of the population was named Mary and 1/4 John.

There was also a Queen Anne who ruled England as the true queen as a descendant of James and Anne.
