A lady in my ante natal class has just called her twins Amanda and Denise. Not horrid names but unusual for now? What do you think?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I wouldn't say "outdated" as I like a lot of the names from that era, but really don't think those particular names are nice.

That's a coincidence, I put Amanda on my mental list for baby number 2 (who is not on the way yet) yesterday.

Oh I think they're nice and yes very different, now. A whole lot more refreshing than another bloody Lily-Mae and Amelie, to give an example.surely those 2 names have had their day now!
Perhaps as pp says they're family names or perhaps she was looking for unusual names

Family names? Popular in the late 1950s. I don't know - everything seems to be coming back. Expect Susan, Gillian, Julie, Janet and Angela to follow. Not to mention Sharon.
