I remember posting about Sheridan for a girl quite a long time ago. This was because I had seen a picture of a young girl named Sheridan in the local newspaper. Like you, I realized I liked it, although it's not at all my usual "style", because I tend to really dislike most surnames on girls, and I dislike just about all of the "new" ones. But something about Sheridan made it stand out as different....I guess it's the soft sound of the first syllable. If I have to see a surname on a girl, I'd much rather it be Sheridan than any other. But I do think that it can be seen as trendy.

Now...Lindsey. That's a different story. I'm not sure if it's dated yet or not, because I'm not aware of its current rank on the popularity lists, but if it isn't yet, it will be. Also, I dislike it. Very much. It's harsh and ugly. One of the names whose popularity mystified me. I read once that Lindsay was the seventies\eighties version of Leslie. Which makes sense, because I dislike Leslie for the same reasons I dislike Lindsey.
