It's not facetious. They're all names I like and always have.
Tiffany is cute but it's too similar in sound to Stephanie to use them both, and I like Stephanie a lot more. I really hate Chelsea.
It's kind of ironic, and also kind of annoying, that my names get singled out as apparently so dated they could be taken as a joke on my part, when other people chose such dated names as Edith, Judith and the like.
I think, therefore I judge.

It's probably because names like Edith and Judith are dated to a much earlier period that they are coming around again as fashionable, whereas names like Stephanie and Jessica are dated to a much more recent period - the 80s and 90s. So they seem much more out of fashion. Give them about 50 years, and I'm sure they'll become less dated again. :)

I can't wait until the nursing homes are full of Stephanies and Jessicas and the younger generation is all, "Ooh, what beautiful, old-fashioned names!"
