Scarlett, Amelia, Evelyn or Caitlin? Worried they will become "dated" names.

I would like opinions on these names for my DD! I worry that all of them will "date" IYSWIM?

My DP likes Scarlett the most. I did really like it but I am worried it sounds harsh and will date the most.

Amelia I like but it is the top name in the UK so we will come across many Amelias.

Evelyn I like but I prefer the short NN Evie - obviously there are loads of little Evies around these days.

Caitlin I like but I am just unsure.

Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks Smile

I love Scarlett.

So what if someone's name gives their rough age away, their face does as well.

Thanks for your views. I suppose any name will date eventually so it is unavoidable. Still not sure on a bloody name, DP still really wants Scarlett though Confused this was so much easier with my DS!

Scarlett's really popular and has been for about seven years, in Liverpool.

You can't go anywhere and not run into a Scarlett, I'm only saying this, in case your DP thinks it's a unused name.

I have a baby relative called that and she really suits it, she's been headstrong since birth.

I think that you will be able to put a time frame on many names being chosen and suggested across this Forum, especially coupled with accents.
