90s names

[tandtworry]

Walking through my local town centre yesterday I felt like I'd stepped back into the 90s, which got me wondering if we might see some 90s icons names making a comeback?

Maybe we'll see a baby Kurt, Courtney or Alanis.

Perhaps twins named PJ and Duncan would be a step too far, but which other names could be due to make a reappearance?

Just to add - Humour me it's been a long week and I could do with a distraction!

My dd is a 90s baby

Maybe we could have lots of Georgia's. When she was 7 she had 7 friends called Georgia.

Emily- 20% of the girls in her year were called Emily.

Chloe is 90’s to me.

When I think of 90s babies I think of
Hannah
Emily
Jessica
Rebecca
Victoria
Charlotte
Lauren
Lucy
Laura
Sarah
Chloe
Georgia
Emma
Megan
Bethany
Shannon
Courtney
Paige
Caitlin
Chelsea
Lisa
Nicola
Samantha
Natalie

The names just starting to creep in during the later 90s were
Ellie
Rosie
Daisy
Poppy
Molly
Holly
Isabel/ Isabella
Mia

Agree with @Pollythecat15 for girls.

Boys -

Christopher
Nicholas
Adam
Luke
Ben
Daniel
Steven
Michael
Andrew
Joshua

A lot of classic names which have stood the test of time really, although you don't hear of many Paige's and Shannon's as baby's now. I'm an 80s baby myself but remember a younger colleague telling me her middle name is Louise the same as several of her friends, I guess that was the Rose of its time.

I maybe should have been clearer in my post title I was thinking about names of 90s icons and people from pop culture so I guess people born in the 60s and 70s, a few more I've thought of:

Dolores
Sinead
Belinda
Drew
Winona

Mine were 90s babies but didn’t make any lists so far
Matthew and Emma

Here in Australia the births announcements were full of Jessica, Sophie, Chloe, Zoe and variations of Taylor (Tayla-Jade, Taylah-Rose, Taela-Mae). Boys were Jack (in their thousands), Matthew, Nathan and cod-Irish things like Rhileigh and Koby.
The later '90s delivered a shipload of boys called Harry --- ooh, I wonder which literary phenomenon brought that on?

Sorry OP, just read your second post.

Celine, Shania, Kylie, Holly, Melissa, Vanessa

Jason, Damon, Liam, Brad, Pierce and heaps of Michaels (Jackson, Jordan, Tyson -- surnames that became the given names of '90s babies!)

I'm intrigued as to why walking through a town centre made you feel like you were in the 90's?
Do you mean because you still have a town centre? Ours has mostly closed down.

@SeoultoSeoul haha no it's the clothes all the young, cool people are wearing, I'm a bit out of touch with current trends so I was really surprised how much it's taken off, I must have been the only person still in skinny jeans!

@groovergirl that's really interesting about surnames being used as first names, I hadn't made that connection but now it's really obvious.

tandtworry Ahh I see! I'm embracing the mum jeans and never really grew out of the Stone Roses T shirts.

No mention of Jack? So many during the 90s.
Lauren and Katie seemed fairly frequent too

Classic 90's names for me are Sarah (though not exclusive to the 90's I know), Elise or Elisse, I had three in my year in primary school, Samantha and Alysha. For boys Brayden- I have only known of one since primary school I an ex work colleagues son.

I had 5 girls named Zoé in one class. Along with a plethora of Hannahs, Gemmas, Megans, Jack/Jake and Daniels.

This webpage is really interesting to spot the trends over the decades: www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/datasets/babynamesenglandandwalestop100babynameshistoricaldata

@Jins. I wouldn’t have thought Jack would be mentioned. It’s still in the top 10. Therefore has stood the test of time.

It’s not one of those names that when you hear it you think. “Oh I haven’t heard that in years.”

Connor
