Well, speaking of Gen X, you have now legally obligated me to post this song
Isn't it funny how kids today don't have the girls names we grew up with? I don't know any young Jessicas, Jennifers, Stephanies, Heathers - the guys' names don't seem to have been abandoned, though. Do you think next generation, when they have kids, will pick up our Gen X names as retro, like our gen has with greatest generation names (Henry, Max, Alice, Ava, Opal, etc)?

We named our son Kieran and now we’re worried he’s going to start getting Karen jokes.

Wendy is more of a boomer name.
I’ve heard it on a lot on Gen Z Filipino-American babies.

Every single one of my high school best friends’ names, as well as my own, has been named in this thread. Love it.

Lol, I have never heard anyone say that before and my name IS Lisa. There always used to be at least 3 Lisa's in every class I was in growing up. And there is 3 of us where I work now.

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.
