So, we all know that names have a life cycle.
Right now, names that were popular with our grandparents and great-grandparents are particularly fashionable (well, some of them. I am looking at you, Bertha.)
When our kids have kids, do we think they will be into OUR parents names? My mom has a nice, non-dated sounding name (Julia) but some of here friends have such "mom" names I can't imagine them being fashionable. WDYT?
For funsies, these are my mom's friends names. They are all late 50s- early 60s
Barbara
Linda
Lynda (yeah, 2 "Lindas")
Marianne
Susan
Karen
Paula
Cynthia
Donna
Of the above names, I would maybe use Marianne, but spelled Mary Anne.
EDIT-- I so meant to post this on the BNB board. Time to make another cup of coffee!
