Are these outdated???...

---

Michelle-- Yes, quite.

---

Sydney-- Don't think so. I still like it, at least.

---

Hannah-- Nope. Actually, getting REALLY popular!

---

Ailyn (Pronounced EILEEN)-Portugese name-- Just, IMO, ugly. Not a fave. Perhaps it's because all I can see is my 40-year-old aunt Eileen...

---

Jacqueline-- No, it's resurging, along with Caroline. Boy, those Kennedys... :D

---

Natalie-- I like it, though a bit more spelt "Nathalie".

---

Taylor-- Yeah, I think a bit. It was popular in the mid-90's especially (in my area, at least), so it's just gotten old for me.

---

Mary-- Totally. I think it's more of a Victorian-era name.

---

Chandler-- Love it on a girl. Don't know why, but I think I like better on a girl better than a boy!

---

Leigha-- I like this spelling a lot.Leah is nice, too. But this just catches my eye.

---

Sophia-- Getting REALLY popular! I love it, though. And the NN Sophie.

---

-Kathryn (aka Kate)

Michelle: Not imo...it was more popular in the 70s, but it doesn't stand out as dated in my book. I think it's a lovely name, in fact, one that I really like :)

---

Sydney: Not at all dated imo...more on the trendy side, if anything. I like it :)

---

Hannah: Very classic and feminine...not dated in the least.

---

Ailyn: Since I've never seen it before, I can't really say that it's dated, although Eileen does seem to be imo.

---

Jacqueline: Another name that was popular in previous decades, but I think it's one that could be used today. Very pretty :)

---

Natalie: No, still very popular today, so not dated by my standards. I really like it :)

---

Taylor: Not at all dated for a girl...too trendy to be dated imo. For a boy, though, it was more popular before, so a little bit.

---

Mary: Perhaps a little, although it's still a lovely name. I think, though, that it's classic, and very much usable...likewise with Maria.

---

Chandler: Not dated for a girl...although it's all boy imo.

---

Leigha: With this spelling, no...and even Leah isn't dated imo. Very classic

---

Sophia: On the popular side right now and not dated. Could definitely see it on a little girl today.

Michelle seems dated to the 70s to me, most of the others are very popular at the moment, though (or have been recently).

I didn't know Ailyn was a Portuguese name, that's very interesting. I work with an Ailyn--she also says it like eye-leen--but she's Filipino (her mother is Indonesian). I thought maybe it was a kre8tiv made up spelling of Aileen or Eileen. :b

I think that Mary,Jacqueline and Leigha are.

I would say the following names (imo) are slightly dated:
Michelle
Ailyn
Jaqueline
Mary
Chandler
Leigha
and maybe Sydney
