[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quoteAre most of these 60s names? I think I would call most of them 70s/80s.

The names you listed, for the 60's/70's are really 80's names!
[b]popular names from 60's/70's: so, so many: Susan/Sue, Karen, Lisa, Diane, Kathy, and yes, some Cindy, Debbie..[/b].[/quote]

'60s & early '70s? Yes. Mid-to-late '70s? Nah.

I was born in '78 & went to school with a lot more girls with names from the OP's list than from yours. Lisa was the only name on your list that wasn't already passe in my town/area by the time I was born (or even by the time my sister was born in '75). I did have a Susan, a Kathy, & a Karen in my high school class but they were the only ones in the school with those names who weren't faculty members. Even as a teen, their names already seemed dated to me -- the Susans, Kathys & Karens I knew as a kid were mostly my friends' moms & the neighborhood teenagers who babysat me when I was little, not my friends & classmates.[/quote]

I'm a Susan, born in 1969.  Growing up in CA, I always thought my name was a little old and I was the only Susan I knew.  It was funny to move to the East Coast and suddenly be one of many Susans my age.  I was born on the East Coast, so I guess the name was popular to my parents, but we moved to CA when I was a toddler - to the land of no Susans (or at least they were all a lot older than me!)[/quote]
