[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s too much of a generational divide in this thread to reach consensus. The Gen Xers are referencing Tammy, Amy, Lisa, Karen- millennial Jessicas don’t know those women. Those are our moms and aunts. (Literally- I’m a Jessica whose mom is Lisa. I have an aunt Tammy.) The millennial Jessicas are referencing Megans, Sarahs, Katies and Heathers because that’s who we grew up with. [/quote]

Meh, I'm on the cusp of Gen X/Millennial, and I grew up with all these women except Tammy, which does feel older to me. I had a friend or classmate with all of these names.[/quote]

I’m solidly millennial, 1988, I never once had a Tammy or Lisa in any class [/quote]

Lisa was a top 50 name the year you were born, and in the top 100 until the 90s. Less popular than it was in the 60s and 70s, but still pretty popular.

Tamara and Tammy were ranked a lot lower, but were also never as popular as Lisa. I suspect there's a lot of regional and demographic preference associated with that name. I've never known a Tammy within 15 years of me (born 1980) unless you count the fictional character of Tammy Taylor, who is probably about 10 years older than me.[/quote]
