I agree minus Tiffany. Tiff still shows up spelled all kinds of ways.

There are no Debbies, Deborahs, Bettys, Sandras, Janes, or Waynes.

Millennial names where I know a ton of now adult women with these names: Lindsey/Lindsay, Kristen/Kristin, Kelly, Jennifer/Jenny and also Jenna, Sarah, Jessica, Rachel, Amanda.

Millennial names that seemed super common back then but I don’t know any as an adult: Jamie, Shannon, Crystal, Lisa (know a lot but they are all Gen Xers), Stacy, Amber.

My hairstylist is named Stacy. And she is definitely a cool girl.

Come to think of it I haven’t meant a Jason in years.


Just yesterday, I had a one on one work call with Jeremy, chatted for ten mins with my friend about her ex husband Gary, and got an email from kevin asking if I’d come out to speak at a conference he’s putting on. So definitely all still in the wild.

Feel like Jason is also still out there a lot. Can’t think of one I talked to yesterday, but definitely have Jason’s in my work sphere and good could friends of ours is a Jason.

They must have all moved to Chicago. Literally every dad of elementary kids here is Jason, Mike or Matt.

My son had a friend named Ethan. They are both 25 now, but Ethan moved away for college and never moved back.

Those were all awful beta type names. Gary maybe not so much, but still.

I slept with one. He'd be about 45?

My friend in college has a crush on one. About the same age.
