HelpRe: Dated names
in reply to a message by Ottilie
Ladies
Deborah - One of my friend's Mom's is called Deborah and another friend's aunt is called Deborah so I see it as pretty dated.
Donna - Again one of my Mom's friends is called Donna, and one of my Dad's cousins is called Donna. So again I see Donna as dated.
Eileen - I also see Eileen as dated because I know of several old people called Eileen.
Jessica (though this is still very popular here)- I know around four kids called Jessica so I see it as quite popular. I also like this name.
Kelly - This is one of my aunties' names, also a number of my friend's Mom's are called Kelly so again I see it as dated.
Pamela - Nearly every old person I see is called Pamela, or Patricia, so I see it as dated.
Paula - One of my Dad's cousins is called Paula so I see it as dated. The name in it's self sounds dated as well.
Sheridan - I don't see it as overly dated, although it isn't modern.
Stephanie - This name is kind of dated, but I know some people in their 20s and 30s called Stephanie so I'm not sure.
Susan - Another one that's hard to judge. Many people I know of called Susan are between the ages of 40 and 60, but I feel it's making a come back so it's kind of dated but not overly.
Gentlemen
Douglas - Hard to say. When I think of the name Douglas I either think of a like toddler or a man in his 50s or 60s. So I guess kind of dated.
Frank - Another one that's hard to choose. Generally I think of someone with the name Frank being around 60, but then I think of people like Frank Iero and I think it's not that dated. Also with nicknames like Frankie it seems less dated. So kind of both.
Glenn - I see this name as dated because it just seems like a name you'll see on an older person.
Graham - This name is rather dated, but it could be making a come back.
Martin - I don't really see the name Martin as dated because I know a couple of people in their teens called Martin.
Russell - I see this name as dated, again it may be making a comeback.
My favourite dated names (I'm not sure what you'll think because they may just seem dated due to the lack of people called these names and them being more popular in past generations):
Girls:
Minnie
Edie
Boys:
Charles
Erik
Ivan
