HelpI can't speak for mafiosa but...
in reply to a message by Pachy
I dislike trendy names because a name is NOT like fashion. That is, you can change your clothing, but your name is stuck with you for life. You'd feel awfully silly if you had to walk around wearing clothes from the 70's for your entire life, wouldn't you? It's the same thing with names.
Have you ever noticed how you can guess the age of most people named Susan, Linda, and Amanda? That's because their names were incredibly trendy. They were pretty and fresh when they were given to them but now they're just a burden, and you rarely see babies with those names.

That is the best I've seen it phrased.
I agree completely.

Yes, exactly!
I can't tell you how glad I am that the name my mother wanted to use for me, Jennifer, got taken by some relative before I was born. Everyone would know I was born in the 80s, not to mention the countless other Jennifers I'd encounter.
You don't have to follow every trend out there. Like the carrot pants that are so in right now. No one, no matter how good a figure they have, should ever wear carrot pants. D:

Carrot pants are pants that are wider around the hips and get really, really tight around the ankles. It looks horrible but is, unfortunately, really in here right now.
