[quote=Anonymous]Also the name Susan will never not remind me of my Aunt Suzy, who was a chain smoker and also kind of mean. I think it's a perfectly lovely name but would never use it because of that association. This is why names come in and out of fashion -- it's easier to have a kind of romantic view of what a name represents when you haven't encountered a lot of people with that name. And this is especially true of names that people associate with their parents generation, because those names will always sound like your parents (and most people don't want to be their parents). It's psychology. It's not people rejecting Susan because of a false belief Sophia is a more beautiful name. It's that Sophia more easily captures their forward-looking dreams for their child than Susan, thanks to prior experiences with both names.[/quote]
