[Opinions] Vanessa
Vanessa has been one of my favourite names for a long, long time.It is beautiful without being pretentious, and begins with an uncommon letter.Thoughts? Is it dated?

I love the name Vanessa! It's so pretty. It makes me think of Vanessa Carlton, so I envision a ballet dancer or a pianist. The name feels very artsy and sweet to me.

I'm with you, it's so pretty and distinct. I would love to have a student named Vanessa and if my partner really liked it I would consider using it.Maybe I'll change my Jane combo to Jane Vanessa. HEHEHE!!!!

It is a classic. Being a genus of butterflies makes it even the more lovely.

Vanessa is super pretty. I don’t think it’s ever been popular here so that’s also a plus. It’s a very pleasant sound and it also looks good in writing

It's a beautiful name, and always seems youthful even though it isn't as popular now as it was in the past. Seems to still be very popular with Hispanic families, from what I can tell.
It's a glamorous and sophisticated name, but not intimidating like the also-glamorous Justine or Desiree.

I've liked all the Vanessa people I've known, and there haven't been many. I don't think it was ever popular enough to be dated. I like it, but not enough to use - too many names I like better, but it's still good.
