I love the names: Jessica, Maria and Valerie.

"Parker, Riley and Blayke: fugly." I concur with this sentiment. Is your set facetious? Because I cannot comprehend so much dated-ness in one sibset! Well, maybe if Maria and Valerie were switched for Tiffany and Chelsea.

Not everyone shares the same taste.

edited to add ...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.

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!"

She's always liked those kinds of names.
