Does your name date you to a decade?

[PaperwhiteTheFriendlyGhost]

I think mine does. Born 1986 and I don't think my name is given to baby girls anymore. It's a one word title of a classic novel.

Not really my first name, not much used any more but could be any time from the last 100 years.
My middle name does though. Peter Pan's mate. Hate it.

Mine was a top ten name between 1980 and 2015 but has fallen right away in the last ten years.

How do you feel about your name now?

Yes totally stereotypical for my year of birth. And there's always lots of us around my age

Yes, around the time Jesus was born +/- a year or two.

No. My name is classed as a classic and still reasonably popular now, not sure how popular it was when I was born.

Yes, definitely a sixties vibe to my name - don’t know anyone younger than 40 with it.

No - name was unusual in 72 but seems to be getting used more often now. I love my name.

My name is Rebecca. It was fairly unusual when I was a child, I only knew one other but now it’s seems quite popular.

My name is unusual but a bit more popular now (last 20 years) so people tend to expect (and think) I'm a good 10 years + younger than I am. Luckily I don't look my age at all so easily pass it off.

Yes. Very popular in the late 60s and early 70s but not given to girls nowadays. I was one of 3 in my class at secondary school.

Yes and according to a recent thread it also makes me trashy and devoid of any redeeming features so yay thanks parents.

Snap!

Yes, definitely 70's. Not overly common though.

Born mid sixties and given a name from the fifties.
Haven't heard anyone called it for years.
No, I don't like it.

Ah lol!
I hated it as a child (born in 1973) and would only refer to myself as Becky. I love my full name now.

It did - 80s I think
It was Danielle but I've changed it as nobody can spell or say it over the past few years (I mostly got Daniel) so I changed my name

No. My name is a "classic" name, I think it did go out of fashion a little at one point but generally people of all ages have it. It's still used now for babies.

@PaperwhiteTheFriendlyGhost I use my middle name! My first name I have to spell every time and I get people saying "Are you sure it's not spelt -? Do you mean **?"
No, I know my own name!!
Middle name is nice and normal.

Lisa. No Lisa's anymore. We're extinct.

No. My parents picked a name that wasn't at all popular in the 70s. It's a name that was polar in the 19th century

My son's girlfriends called Lisa. She's from Finland so maybe its popular there?

My name peaked around fifteen years before I was born (but not that popular even then) and then fell totally out of fashion. I've never met a live one in the wild. So it makes me sound much older but not in a nostalgic pretty way.

No. I'm one of five and we all have classic and ancient names which were well known but not much used when we were born in the 50s and 60s into a sea of Sandras, Tinas, Colins and Garys.

The other four have become much more popular since although I have yet to meet a little one with my name. I do know a few round about my age with my name. My middle name (chosen by my mum's American best friend) was about 10 or 20 years ahead of its time for popular use although it's not a new name. It was after a character in Gone With The Wind.

My husband and his brothers can practically be narrowed down to a month!

(If you're having quads - two of each - and want four names that "go together", DM me 😁)

We had a few when I was a secondary school in the 8Os so between 1969 and 1972
