Re: Alison
I find it so crazy that Tamsin is dated - it's such an in-sounding name in the US.

I wouldn't say it is 'dated' in Australia but it was definitely used a lot more around the Tamara and Tammy generation (70s and 80s) so it does have a more dated feel in Australia as well. It's always interesting what is and isn't dated around the world. It still floors me that Trevor is used on young men and even young boys with some commonality in the US. It is still in the hideously dated category, to the point of being a 'joke' name, in Australia.

Trevor is an annoying, preppy name that makes me roll my eyes. I can't imagine an old Trevor at ALL - the oldest one I know of would be 30. Heather is another good example.
