^There were 9 Richards in my year at school 8 of them in my band (the year was split into 2 bands and then further into 4 sets per band) and 5 of those were in my Science classes.
There were just over 200 pupils in the year, so about 4% were named Richard, 8% in my band, and 15% of the Science classes.
Oddly I don't think there were many Richards at all in the years below mine (although I can't be sure)... I think in my sister year (3 years younger) there were 2.
Outside of school I know or know of at least 10 other Richards.... the most interesting in terms of their link to me being my ex-girlfriends, dads girlfriends, son. Whom I never met, but I know he exists.
