I've seen other people on here refer to Samantha as classic which I find strange. It's a modern, trendy name in my opinion (even if it was technically invented in the 18th century). It didn't really start being used until the '50s or '60s. I don't know if you watch Foyle's War but it always bugs me that Honeysuckle Week's character is called Samantha. I don't know any that were born before the late '50s so it seems wrong to me. I think of it as being very '70s/'80s.

It surprises me that it's still so popular in the US as it's pretty dated here. I've known quite a few of them. I have to say (after all that rambling) I don't like it.
