1960s-1990s Girl Names

[TurnaPage]

I'm looking for girl names that were common between the 1960s and 1990s that I may not have considered yet. An example would be names like Joanna and Stephanie. Majority of the modern popular names just don't do it for me. I want a name that feels familiar. A name where I have actually met an adult woman called that.
