Not a lot of Tracy's these days, or Michelle's. Most standard names are old fashioned at the moment - even good old trustworthy ones like John or James etc. |

Eileen you don't hear so much these days, but that's hardly surprising seeing as, Eileen could be misunderstood and interpreted as having one leg shorter than the other. |

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I remember the trauma of trying to think of names for my daughters. On both occasions we tried to think of something interesting and failed both times, there seemingly seems phases in popularity? Oddly although she never knew her one of my daughters announced that she proposed to name her daughter my mother's name if she had a girl next time. (The irony being my mother never used it, much preferring her second name?) |

Doris! My 18 year old daughter has called her car Doris. It's an old lady car. It's a Matiz, looks like an old lady car and drives like an old lady car. But she loves it. And no boy racer is ever gonna knick it.
Merideth is also an old fashioned name. |

You rarely get Sharon, Sarah, Claire or Tracey these days. All were really popular in the 70s. |

Darren. To my knowledge every Darren I knew got either excluded or expelled as a schoolkid and probably imprisoned as an adult. Darren Day is probably one of the last surviving Darrens left on this planet. Let's not repeat our mistakes from the past. We've had enough Darrens. |
