How boring are Chloe, Megan and Sarah?

Just wondering. These are the three names I love that were super common in the 90s.

What do you think of them? What kind of image do they give you? And are they really that boring?

I don't dislike them but there just aren't to my personal taste.

I think Chloe is still relatively common (I know a few primary age) but don't know any young Megan's or Sarah's.

TheYearOfSmallThings · 14/03/2022 13:42

I like them all, especially Sarah.

Bideshi · 14/03/2022 13:43

Sarah - lovely. A real name.

I like both Megan and Chloe. My DD (12) has friends with both those names (she has 3 Chloe's in her year group). Less keen on Sarah, it feels a little less "modern" than the others.

I like all of them, especially Sarah which is very classic.

Mackmama · 14/03/2022 13:52

I like all of them too. Somebody I know recently named a baby Chloe and I’d forgotten how lovely it is 😀

JamieFrasersBigSwingingKilt · 14/03/2022 13:52

They are all quite bland names, I'm afraid.

miltonj · 14/03/2022 13:55

Love Sarah
And quite like Chloe.

Megan not keen on but don't hate either.

FayCarew · 14/03/2022 13:56

Chloe - know lots of them, most referred to as Chlo
Megan - Meg's nice, Megan not too my taste
Sarah - know an awful lot of them. All are Ssrah Surname

They’re all nice. Megan is the most popular name in DD’s year group, according to darkgreener website it seems to have dropped dramatically in popularity since (possibly because of royal connections?) - but I’m in Wales and it’s still top 100 here. A couple of Chloes in her year too.

sofakingcool · 14/03/2022 14:03

I absolutely love the name Sarah

Fl0w3ry · 14/03/2022 14:11

I like the name Chloe, but find Sarah and Megan quite bland sounding. I think probably because I know so many of them.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 14/03/2022 14:14

Sarah, so bland.
Chloe, there are a million.
Megan, ok.

Northernsoullover · 14/03/2022 14:15

When my son was born 18 years ago I was quite surprised that the mum in the next bed called her baby Sarah. Surprised because its not commonplace and in a sea of Sophies and Lilys at the time it made a nice change. I think its beautiful. I like Hannah too even if it wasn't on your list

DearlyBeloathed · 14/03/2022 14:16

Very.

Liv999 · 14/03/2022 14:33

I love Sarah dont think its dated at all, it's still in the top 50 here in Ireland, Chloe is ok, I think Megan is quite boring

user1493494961 · 14/03/2022 14:35

Not keen on Chloe but really like Megan and Sarah, both due a comeback.

Sharrowgirl · 14/03/2022 14:36

They are a bit dull, sorry. Not unpleasant names but just a bit beige.

Lilaclavenders · 14/03/2022 14:40

Chloé and Megan are very dated....

Sarah is more classic but still overused imo - I know sooo many adult Sarahs...

megletthesecond · 14/03/2022 14:41

All nice.
Megan and Chloe probably overused.

Sarah must be due a comeback.

yikesanotherbooboo · 14/03/2022 14:42

I like Sarah .
The other two feel a bit unfashionable if that worries you.

MuddyLotus · 14/03/2022 15:33

I like Sarah

Chipshopdinners · 14/03/2022 15:37

Sarah is a hideous name.
Chloe and Megan don't give me any strong feelings either way.

chaosrabbitland · 14/03/2022 15:47

nothing wrong with any of them .but they all are really boring i think

Babadook76 · 14/03/2022 15:49

I think Sarah is boring. Chloe is chavvy. And Megan is wet.
