I'm fascinated by names and how trends come and go and names become associated with a certain type of person, age etc.
My DM is late 60s and all her friends are called Sue, Linda/Lynne, Brenda, Jackie.
If you see the name Brenda, the chances are that person is of that age range and you naturally just assume that they are before meeting them. I have a name that is dated to my generation too and will one day become a 'Sue' type name.
What names will define this generation do you think? Names like Isabella rocketed in popularity but I feel like it is classic enough to maintain popularity for long enough not to be too pidgeon-holed, same possibly for Florence.
I think maybe Evie, Ava, Isla for girls, I'm really not sure for boys...
Most of my dad's friends are Mike Dave or John or Bob (Robert), but they are all fairly classic names that you also meet on younger men. The Keiths, Barrys, Brians are more pidgeon-holed I guess and not sure what their equivalents would be.
This isn't knocking any particular name, I think some of these names are really nice despite their popularity but just interested to see views from other name nerds
