What if the Brady Bunch started in 1990 - or 2012?!
I had this weird idea this morning – what if the Brady Brunch started now – in 2012. What would the children and parents be named?
Original show started 1969 with the following names(and rough ages):
Mike & Carol
Greg (11)
Marcia (11)
Jan (9)
Peter (9)
Cindy (Cynthia) (7)
Bobby(7)
And don’t forget Alice!
And also for something a bit different what about sometime in the middle – say if the show started in 1990? Here’s my take.
1990 Brady Bunch
Dave & Cathy
Brad
Melinda
Paul
Jen
Christy
Billy
& Sandra
2012 Brady Bunch
Jack & Claire
Josh
Madeline
Zoe
Henry
Lucy (Lucia)
Archie
Geraldine
I don't like all of these names, I just thought they fitted in some way due to sound or popularity at the time

Okay, so in 1969, the popularity of the Brady Bunch names breaks down like this (according to the SSA website):
Mike-112
Carol-56
Greg-151
Marcia-260
Jan-398
Peter-43
Cindy (Cynthia)-23
Bobby-82
Alice-185
Using the same popularity numbers, in 1990 the clan would have looked like this:
Lucas & Vanessa
Devon
Nina
Celeste
Jeffrey
Tiffany
Victor
and Arielle
According to the most recent SSA list I could find (2010), today the Brady Bunch would look like this:
Bryce & Aaliyah
Cayden
Josie
Madelynn
Brandon
Avery
Nathaniel

Darci, I agree with this maybe for the kids (although technically you'd have to go back 10 or 15 years) but the parents definetily need to be moved back! I don't know any parents named Isabella or Ava or Jayden, all in the top 10. A 2012 parent of teens is likely named Michael, Robert, Steve, David, or Liz, Michelle, Susan, Karen. Not Bryce or Aaliyah. Just a point.
