When attending a Junior League of Omaha event, if you say Megan or Sarah, you will likely have several ladies turn around because 9% of our Active and New Members have one of these two names!
Sarah or Sara is one of the oldest names in existence and has remained popular over time. During the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s the name held single digit popularity. It is almost surprising that we only have 3 Sarah’s who are Sustainers in the Junior League of Omaha.
Megan or Meghan only arrived on the American naming charts in 1952. The name dominated in the 1980s and 1990s and averaged at 15 but never made it into the top five names in a given year. Currently, no Sustaining members are named Megan but due to the popularity in the 1990s, it is likely that we will have many more Megans in the years to came.
