Linda does sound dated to me, but I think if I saw it used on a kid, it wouldn't really be too difficult to readjust my perspective on it. Something like Lina, Linnea, or even Linnet looks more modern, but Linda is close enough to those names in its look that seeing it used on someone younger might be enough to make it feel more modern. It's sort of an olive green color to me and one of my first associations is cigarette smoke.

Erika is my name. I like it. I do not like Erica. I feel strongly that the 'k' gives the name much more personality. It's spikey and energetic. A 'c' is soft and mundane. I am not an objective source on this name. The nickname Eri (which I felt made more sense written as Airie) is cool when you are in middle school, but not past then.
