I dislike this name. It was very popular when I was a kid, but it sounds fluffy and without substance. It didn't help that a lot of Playboy playmates seemed to be named Tiffany, either.

I think it sounds very dated, but I like it in a GP sort of way.

I really don't think it can be called a classic in the same way as Elizabeth or Mary can. To be a classic I think the name has to have enjoyed fairly steady use right along, and Tiffany hasn't. It may be classical, but not classic. And I would advise anybody who wants to use the name Tiffany not to try and tell people how classical it is, because it won't ring true even though it is.

If I was reading the birth announcements and saw a Tiffany, I'd smile. It's a pretty name, and it would be a welcome change from all the Kaylees and Emmas and Sophies and Addisons.

I didn't know the history of it, and it is interesting, but I'm afraid this name will always be dated and lower-class to me.

It's definitely not as classy as Audrey.

Unfortunately the jeweller and the naff 80s singer override any medieval connection for me, and sound-wise it reminds me of things like Trinity and Destiny.
Audrey is also medieval - and much better, imo.

So very 80s

I can't help it. All I associate it with is the 80s.

That's all I need to say.

I like the name Tiffany; I think it's simple, pretty, and grows well with age. I actually have a character in a book I'm working on , her full name is Tiffany Anne Logan.

I commonly see people associate the name with other names like:

---

Ashley, Stephanie, Brittany, Chelsea, etc. as being cliquey, popular girl names.
