HelpRe: 80s/90s names...
in reply to a message by Joiya
Starred the ones I personally like.
Megan - kind of a mom name in my view, but I know a couple of Megans under 10
*Tiffany - I don't see why this should not become as classic as Diana.
Whitney - ugh. okay as a boy name now
*Amy - seems like more of a standard to me, not so dated.
Lindsay - too dated.
Brooke - pretty sure this is not totally out of fashion yet, like Megan or Alison.
Danielle - not too dated. Daniela is more fashionable now, though.
Sabrina - ? I have never thought of this as a fashionable enough name that it would become dated.
Monica - eh, a very dated style. 60s-70s style even.
Holly - still hip
*Shannon - kind of a momname but still usable.
*Angela - like Danielle, it's not too dated but has more fashionable forms.
*Tanya - gone.
Amber - should be gone.
*Kristin / Kristen / Kirsten / Kiersten / Kristine - Kristine is the only one that I think still sounds up to date enough to give to a baby. There were SO many girls named these in my high school (class of '89, California).
Cory - still usable. Corey Hart, lol. Kinda seems like a girl name.
Philip - older than 80s isn't it? still usable, classic
*Shane - alas, this is a statement now. I have a weakness for Shane. A friend of mine named her son Shane in the 90s
*Keith - people are unlikely to use it because of dadname status... but I don't think it'd be that much of a blast from the past to see a child named it.
Chad - lol I don't like Chad much. It reminds me of "cad." I guess it's usable tho
Cody - I hope this is gone. It also seems like a girl name
*Travis - very dated
Tyler - still usable
Patrick - classic
Seth - woah. I didn't realize it had been an 80-90s name.
*Marcus - this, either! =(
Joel - blah, I hope it goes away
Jared - gone
*Shawn / Sean - going. It'll be Gary someday
Aaron - too classic to go, but I think it's dated. Name of my first roommate.
Ryan - slow fade because it was so popular, like Jennifer. Still usable. I know a kid Ryan who's female...
*Brian - dadname.
- mirfak
