[Opinions] Re: What are your favorite names that were popular in the 80s or 90s?
I was born in 1990, so this era of names is decidedly not my favorite, but I always thought Rachel was gentle and pretty. I also appreciate Vanessa's chintzy villainy.

Love that description of Vanessa. What other names do you think would fit the bill?
Great choices! Rachel is one of my favorite names of all time! Also, the fact that being born in the era makes you like it less is really interesting to me. I always thought being born in the early 2000s has made me biased TOWARD these names, not against.

I’ve always been an annoying contrarian who’s freaked out by homogeneity—I remember being disturbed by all the Katies, Sarahs, and Nicoles I knew as a kid.
Ah, that's totally fair! I knew a lot of Abigails as a kid, but I found that fun, although I suppose it wasn't fun for them.
