[Opinions] which is more dated: Cassidy or Sylvia
Replies
to me Cassidy. Sylvia, like most greco-roman names, is timeless to me.
Cassidy is more dated because it was only popular for a short time and those tend to date much more than other names. Sylvia is old-fashioned, but it was popular for a lot longer than Cassidy and now might be getting more use.
Cassidy, definitely. Sylvia's a timeless beauty.
Sylvia is pretty timeless, it's far more ancient. Cassidy is more specifically dated to the 70s or 80s. Cassidy is also more exclusively American (as a first name), whereas Sylvia and its variants are used in multiple cultures.
I prefer Sylvia.

I've never met or, locally, heard of a Cassidy. It seems to be pretty exclusively American. Sylvia has been used for so long that there isn't one single way of imagining a Sylvia. I like it and would consider using it IRL.
I love your Cassidy associations, that's so fascinating.
ur associations so interesting, vivid and romantic
Sylvia was in vogue longer ago, more than once, and didn't completely drop off the map when fashions changed.
Cassidy's popularity was more flash in the pan, so it feels more dated (i.e. pertaining to a specific era). Cassidy has a wild west flare, but I think it needs 20 years before it returns.

While Sylvia is a classic, cassidy is an aged trend, making it the dated option.
Sylvia is a classic. Cassidy is dated to the mid 90s to the early 00s.
