Re: 80s/90s names...
in reply to a message by Joiya
Megan - I like Megan. I think it's pretty and it's not too gimmicky. It's a real name.
Tiffany - This, on the other hand, I despise. It is the ultimate in tacky.
Whitney - I like this best of the boys names on girls of the 80s set. I still don't like it.
Amy - I like Amy. I consider it classic. It's not exciting but it's perfectly fine.
Lindsay - It's a nice sound but it's so trendy and insubstantial.
Brooke - Nah. I like Brooks for a boy.
Danielle - Never have liked this. Daniella is ok.
Sabrina - This is an 80s/90s name? I think it's ok, but not even close to a favorite.
Monica - I guess I didn't realize this was an 80s/90s name either. It's ok.
Holly - really dislike. I like Molly and Polly way more.
Shannon - I find this offensively hideous, though I know some great ones.
Angela - Yuck, so cheesy.
Tanya - Too slick.
Amber - I hate this name almost as much as I hate the name Brianna. It is about as downmarket as you can get, imo.
and...
Kristin / Kristen / Kirsten / Kiersten / Kristine - I like Kirsten best of these and Christine best of this overall genre of name.
Cory - kind of wimpy.
Philip - perfectly nice. Didn't know this was 80s/90s either.
Shane - I do not like this one little bit.
Keith - Oh lord this is UG UG UG.
Chad - I think some Brits think this is like the stereotypical American bro name. I think it's a douche name. Chad with the big, fake smile and the gameshow host voice.
Cody - It's like "My husband and I really wanted our son to be an idiot so we named him Cody."
Travis - I find it ugly.
Tyler - Tacky and generic.
Patrick - perfectly nice.
Seth - It bores me so much I almost forget it's a name.
Marcus - Yuck, I hate names that end in -us sounds.
Joel - Nope.
Jared - I knew such a weird Jared growing up. All I associate with "Jared" is social awkwardness and a stone-washed, elastic-waisted jean.
Shawn / Sean - Thuggish. If Eminem's real name wasn't Marshall it'd be Sean.
Aaron - Never have cared for it. I like Erin more for a girl, but I don't even really like this.
Ryan - Overused and not very interesting. Sort of cheap.
Brian - a smidge nicer than Ryan.
