HelpRe: Dated names
in reply to a message by summitseeker
Well Harvey is quite popular here now..
I used 3 dated names for my daughter.. one of which is probably described as the most hideous old dated name of all time (Hilda). I love it, and I would have used it as her first name if my grandmother (Hilda) hadn't hated her name so much.
Names come in cycles, whats dated now might be back in 20 years. You can't pick it.
My great-great-aunts name was Isobel and my younger cousin was named Isabella, my grandmother thought it was such an old dated name.. now theres like 4 in her year at high school!
My vote is go with what you like because you never know what will happen.

I don't think your daughter's names are dated at all, at least not here in the US.
