I think it's funny how it was ahead of its time. Now we have
Mason and
Jaden ... probably used by people who would've used
Jason when it was "fresh." Right now it's dated ... it was as common as
Chris and
Mike among my peers in grade school, no exaggeration, and I have only met one
Jason that I even sort of liked. Weird. It has never really appealed to me. To me it is sort of unmasculine-sounding, like
Jeremy and
Joshua are. Not that it would suit a female - just that it doesn't reach my "butch enough" mark.
I doubt it will become very popular again before another 60-70 years passes. But it seems like it would be steadily, quietly used.
