Heather and Jessica

I was always jealous of girls that got to be named Lisa.

I am one of three Lisas in my office now. It's like being back in grade school - Lisa A, Lisa B, Lisa C. And on Zoom! You can't even look at someone or make eye contact to be sure everyone knows who you are talking to. We are all about the same age, born in the 70's.

I love Jennifer nn Jenny.

I think Wendy is cute and hate that it will always be associated with the fast food restaurant.

Rachel
Jill
Kerri (prefer it to Carey)
Amy
Danielle
Katie

I don't like:

Stephanie
Jennifer
Courtney

Christina

Jennifer

Heather is so solidly that generation. So perfect.

For a boy, it's Jason or Mark

yup, beautiful.

I was convinced Rachels were always popular, because it seemed like all the Rachels I knew were.

Melanie. Also pretty.

I wanted to be a Lisa so badly.

Amanda - it's a pretty name

Rachel

I remember in high school latin learning that the name was literally the word for "She is going to be loved". What a perfect name for a child.

Yes, this is inspired by the “Angela for a baby thread”. Personally I really like the name Heather, from my generation. Michelle is quite pretty too, but it was way too popular. Overall, I like the names babies were given in the 60’s and 70’s over the names now.
What’s your favorite Gen X name?
