Choosing that for Full House did not make sense.

It wasn't THAT weird in the 80s. I've only known 2 Donnas. One had siblings named Kristen, Ashley, and Andrew. The other had a brother named Shane.
It would've been near the top 100 still when DJ was supposed to have been born in the 70s, though I never knew her name was Donna anyway.

I have an aunt named Donna, and almost all the Donnas I've known have been around her age. I know of one Donna whose maybe a year older than my husband, who was born in 1977. And there was a girl I graduated high school with named Jadonna.
Kristen and Ashley do not at all sound like Donna's sisters; they sound like Donna's daughters.

Ok, but it was being used about as much when DJ would have been born as Savannah is being used now, and I think if a TV show used Savannah in 10 years for a 10 year old (maybe with a younger sister named Harper or Willow) it wouldn't seem that wacky to me.

Sure - Pamela, Michelle, Donna, Amy, Jennifer, Stephanie, Kristen, Ashley - none of those strike me as unlikely to be 70s-80s names in the same family. Though Michelle, Pamela, Donna, Amy, Stephanie, Jennifer all sound potentially a generation older to me than Ashley, and Donna and Pamela sound most dated to me nowadays.
