HelpRe: Sailor Moon fan here
in reply to a message by chazda
Sailor Moon was popular around 1995-1997, when the English version hit NA, but was eventually supplanted by Pokémon (which was then supplanted by Harry Potter). The sailor fukus (super-hero outfits) the senshi/scouts (depending what version you're watching) are based on the Japanese school uniform that's mandatory in public schools; the uniforms were inspired by the Japanese Navy iirc. Since the heroines are only 14-16 throughout the series, Sailor Moon's creator thought sailor fukus were appropriate.
But I don't think Sailor, the name, comes from Sailor Moon. (Although, off topic, I think the abomination that is Rini's so-called meaning, "little rabbit", does.)
Christie Brinkley named her daughter Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook in 1998, in honour of her husband's passion for sailing iirc. I think this could be a more likely start to the Sailor trend.
