Carrie is irksome to me (nickname, SATC, incomplete feeling) but agree with PP upthread that Kerry hits differently and would fall into the same bucket as Erin



How old are you, PP? The 80’s was 40 years ago! I have no clue what soap opera had a Susan and Erica.

Of the choices, Erin and maybe Natalie. Not at all a fan of Erica or Carrie.

Erin.

I named my daughter Kelly after my sister who died and everyone comments on how much they love the name. Kelly, Erin, Rory all feel like the same generation to me and I love those names.

I really like all your names. My favorite is Carrie. Least favorite is Natalie - it doesn’t feel “fresh” as they say here.

I have an Erica, so I'm partial to it.

And if you saw it on the class list we got home for V-Day, it actually fits in just fine.

I think people are a little strange about "dated" names.

+1. Erin and Erica are both SO DATED. Carrie is okay as a nickname of Caroline. Natalie is a nice name. It's sensible, but Natalie Wood and Natalie Portman give it Hollywood glamor.

Erica: not bad, but feels a little '80s to me

Erin: I cannot warm to this name. It's overused among Irish people, when in reality, no one in Ireland would name their kid Erin. Also, some people pronounce Ehh-rin and some people say Ay-rin. That would bug me.

Carrie: Nice. Also a little dated, but sweet.

Natalie: Very nice name. So, I guess it's my favorite!

Natalie is the only one I like. I think it’s a beautiful name, but it didn’t make my list because of a person connection to an unpleasant Natalie lol.

I love Erin!

Kerry was on my short list. For some reason, I feel very different about Carrie as a spelling.
