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

Oh I think Pamela is gorgeous. And it's got a literary heritage too. But yeah, Pam, is a bit....Gavin and Stacey.

I think they are all nice enough names, the issue is they sound a bit boring to me now because they are the names everyone had at school! I'm sure they will all make a comeback when people have not been using them for a while and they seem interesting and unique again.

But Karen is my favourite out of that list!

I don't these are "Nana names" quite yet!

I was born in the mid 80s and these are the names of people I was at school with. Who are now mothers to young children.

I know a two-year-old Claire and when her name was announced I did think "ooh you don't get many baby Claire's now!"
