Re: Dated names

Yeah, you followed the right strategy, but it just didn't work out for rareness. Victoria is still a beautiful name and honestly deserves to be popular. And it's been popular for long enough that it never will be truly "dated," even if it's less used in the future.
My name is Cayden, which really *was* rare for the year I was born (just outside the top 1,000). It, and similar sounding names, became a big trend in the 90s. I still like it and wouldn't change it, but it definitely is "dated" and will become an "old person's name" in 40 years or so. At least I'll be an old person then.
You can't predict future trends, and unfortunately that rare, beautiful name might not stay rare.
