Re: 80s/90s names...
in reply to a message by Joiya
They're all usable, imo, although not by me, except maybe Patrick.
I like Megan, Holly & Angela, although not being from the US they don't sound 80s/90s to me - Megan spans all ages in Wales, Holly is in the charts now and all the Angelas I've met have been over 50. I've never met anyone from the UK with the K-names you list, but I like Kirsty, which was popular here at round about that time, and Christina, which charted in the 1940s and 50s.
Ryan is the only one of the boys' names that's 80s/90s to me, and Patrick & Philip are my favourites. Brians and Keiths here are grey-haired - can't imagine either of those on a young adult!

How interesting. Angela was quite common in my classrooms of the late 80s.
Kirsty was also kinda in vogue in the States back then, but I would say that Kristy was even more so. I know tons of Brians, and they would all be in their late 20s now... same for Keith.
