HelpRe: French and 50's names.
in reply to a message by Brendan
None of those names strike me as being particularly "50s" though one list is definitely French.
How is it these names are "50s names"???
Especially names such as Linda, Bonnie and Sally - I'm 21 and know loads of people, from all over, with these names.
Disclaimer: I'm not being rude, I'm just curious as to your reasoning.

In the United States, at least, his list of "50s" names definitely did get a lot of use in that time period. You'll find exceptions to all the rules, of course--there's at least one Susan in my year at school--but for the most part, they're names more associated with Baby Boomers than, say, Generation X.

I thought that's where he may have been getting his list but I still don't see any of them as standing out in the 1950s sort of way. They're just too common and I find it odd that they're referred to as "50s names."
Especially Linda. That one just popped out. But I'm in Miami and hispanics love that name.
