May I ask what country you live in? I never hear Vanessa anymore. I'm for the US and I've only met one. I'm also Gen Z so that could be the reason why, I've always read that the name is dated to the 80s/90s alongside names like Ashley, Tiffany, Stephanie, and Amanda.

I'm also gen-z, and at least for me growing up...the name Vanessa was everywhere! I do really enjoy the name, however. Yes, I'm in the USA, lol.

Interesting.. I guess it could be based solely on the demographics of the area we grew up in? I went to school with a lot of Emily's lol.

The United States. It may not be as common in real life as it was, but it was on TV a lot. I watched TV all the time as a kid, so I picked up on names that came up often. Thats why even though Bob is not anywhere near as common anymore, I still see it as a "default" name. Numerous Bobs on TV, normally older men. The Vanessa's were always young.

I see. I consume a lot of pop culture too but I honestly never hear it. I mostly think of Vanessa Hudgens. Definitely hear Olivia in pop culture a lot though especially lately. Olivia Rodrigo, Olivia Hussey, Olivia Benson, Olivia Pope, Olivia Wilde, Olivia Newton-John..
