Vanessa
WDYT? Tacky? Dated? I used to strongly dislike it and find it trashy, but I like it better these days (though probably not enough to use, except maybe for a character).

There's something about Vanessa that smells like trash.
I love it. I don't think it's the least bit trashy. It's never occurred to me that it would have that connotation or image. I don't think it's dated either, in that, at least here in the U.S., it's never gone through any spurt of popularity, so it's not tied to any specific era. I've only known one Vanessa my entire life, and that was years ago back in high school. I think it's a beautiful name that deserves to be more widely used.

I don't think it's trashy but I prefer Vanora.
