Names most associate with the 1970s and 1980s

[Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo]

A friend of mine (early 20s) has given names to her girls that I think are strongly linked to the 70s/80s and I found I really liked hearing them! Not sure if it is because they remind me of school days or because they sound refreshing as so rare to be heard on children atm.

What are your favourite distinctly 70s/80s names?

I like Lisa, Leanne and Stephanie!

Born late 70's. My friends at school were Natalie (loads of them!), Joanne, Sarah, Danielle, Kay, Kerry and Louise.
Boys were Simon, David, Richard, Steven and Craig.

I love Louise. Tons of Louisa's around these days but so rare to hear a little kid called Louise. Got to be due a revival....
