[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the OP should stand her ground.

Interestingly, my older sister was named using the the trendy names of the sixties.  Two years later I was named after two of my four great grandmothers.  My name remains classic and timeless, while no-one calls their daughters my sister's names these days and they have fallen off the SSA name top 1000 list.[/quote]

Now I’m dying to know the names.

Though I think it’s irrelevant. When it comes to vintage names, there’s always good-ready-for-revival vintage, and ugly-keep-it-in-the-past vintage. I’m guessing your name isn’t Bertha, Eugenia, Heloise or any of the many, many old names that are not ripe for a return. And people always act like a trendy name that falls out of favor is a huge mistake, but it’s actually a good way to get a name people like that winds up not being overdone. For instance the name Rhiannon had a moment in the 70s/80s but then fell way out of favor and now it’s a pretty and unusual name. Trendy names can actually hit the perfect sweet spot of recognizable but not too common.[/quote]
