HelpRe: Do you think “dated” and “outdated” are neutral expressions to describe a name?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
Yeah, I guess I'd say dated if I meant "not in fashion as a baby name, evokes an older person at this time" and outdated if I meant "not in fashion and never will/should be in fashion ever again."
But both things are pretty neutral, since they're just a comment on one's own personal perception, which is all that any name opinions ever are.
And they're both also negative, because people mention that a name is dated as a reason to not favor it. Nobody says "Oh I love that name because it's so dated!"
