[Opinions] Re: Are there names you used to like but don’t anymore?
in reply to a message by KK
When I was young I loved Martha, Sylvia, Claudia and Adrienne. Especially Adrienne and Sylvia. I don't hate them, but they aren't favorites anymore. The only thing I dislike about Martha (and Claudia, but less so) is that it seems rather dated. Sylvia also seems dated and it's too soft for my taste now. Claudia has just fallen out of favor. I loved Adrienne because I met a lady with the name and I thought it was beautiful. As soon as I realized Adrian was a name, it tainted my love for Adrienne. It used to be my #1 name, though. I'm sure there are others, but these are the only ones I can think of right now.

Arielle and Naomi, I used to obsess over these two but my enthusiasm has waned. While I don't hate them, my previous desire to give them to daughters is no longer there.
