[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many Claires. Did none of these people see The Breakfast Club?[/quote]

BC was my generation's movie and Claire's name always, always always bothered me.

Claire was not at all a popular name for a girl born in 1968-70.  I'm that age and did not know of one Claire in my huge, regional high school.  Not one in a class of 550.

So, the line sneeringly delivered that, "Claire is a Fat Girl's name," made no sense to me.  was the point that only an unattractive, remarkably heavy/different girl would have such a name?  If so, that was lost on most of the teenage moviegoers of the time.  Why Claire?

If the idea was to have a dated, out-of-style name, then how about "Mom Name" at the time like Pamela, Linda, Judy, Connie?  See, that would seem kind of an off-beat name for a teenage girl to have in the late 80s.  Plus, Claire was an uber-popular, It girl and with Molly Ringwald/Ringworm in the role, I just couldn't buy it.  No way did she look anything like the cool, popular girls I knew (and aspired to be).  Besides, none of the popular girls back then would have dared to have short hair.

Apologies for the bloggy rant.  I've clearly thought about this for a long, long time.[/quote]
