HelpRe: Tiffany vs Brittany
in reply to a message by RDNZL
I have two answers.
If I had a baby girl in the 1980s or 1990s, and I was forced to choose Brittany or Tiffany, I would have chosen Brittany. I liked it to a degree back then, although I never really loved it. I also somewhat liked Tiffany, but I liked Brittany more. Guess I just found "brit" a nicer sounding syllable than "tif".
BUT if I had a baby girl now and had to choose, I'd choose Tiffany. Because I have known so many young women named Brittany or some spelling variation of it. At my workplace, at one point, we have no fewer than five employees at one time named Brittany or some spelling variation of it, so that we always had to say Brittany Last Name or we wouldn't know which one we were talking about. And that was just at that time, at other times, there were a few more women named Brittany employed there.
Brittany was such an incredible flash in the pan back in the 80s and 90s. It fell so quickly, but when it was popular, it was so popular that it resulted in a ton of Brittanys.
Tiffany was also popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but not as popular as Brittany, and although it fell, it didn't fall as precipitously as Brittany. I've known only one Tiffany, who was a playmate of my daughter's back in the 80s.
So although Tiffany does rather sound low-class because it seems to be emulating class, I am so darn sick of Brittany at this time that I could never use it. So baby girl now = Tiffany.
