[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a solid gen x’er and have to say most if these names sound awfully generic. I mean, is there something about “jennifer” that screams gen-x versus just generic white girl name? If I had to name names that were popular among people my generation more than others, maybe: Jesse, Kirsten, mike, Sean, Jane, and yes, jennifer. But frankly these all seem pretty generic names that don’t stand out in any way. [/quote] I mean, yes? We're talking about names that were popular in an era when the most popular names were VERY popular. Of course they sound generic. There were like 60,000 babies named Jennifer in 1975. Compare that to 2019, when the most popular name (Olivia) was given to like 18,000 babies. So yeah, the names are kind of generic by virtue of being very popular. That's the whole point.[/quote]
