All names from my generation and names that will seem dated now, but all names I love!
May not be brave enough to use myself but would love to see in use again!
Also how old is the youngest person you know with each name? (just out of interest)

Lisa
Caroline
Sarah
Joanna
Kerry
Nicola
Karen
Jenny
Claire
Victoria

I don't think you need to be particularly brave to use any of them! They're all nice enough - no clearly terrible associations. Not at their absolute peak right now, but that's no bad thing.

Ages of those I know:

Lisa - 20
Caroline - 21
Sarah - 11
Joanna - new baby (also a new baby Joan)
Kerry - not sure I know any
Nicola - 30
Karen - 18
Jenny - new baby
Claire - about 5 (also many called Clara)
Victoria - 18

Joanna is the name I’d have picked for myself (instead of the chavvy 70s classic my parents saddled me with).

I know a baby Sarah and a 5 year old Jenny.

I like Victoria.

Seriously, I don't think you need to be brave to use any of those names. [confuse] They're perfectly usable names that won't raise an eyebrow. No one's going to be surprised to meet a baby Sarah.
