I like it, but in a neutral way.
It's not dated. I mean, I am aware that it was used more when I was little than it is now - but I don't think it has that "mom name" feeling that a name like
Kimberly or
Nicole begins to take on now. It still sounds youthful, and I can't imagine it ever seeming any more old-lady-ish than
Clara or
Rose did when I was a kid. It's too classic.
I think it seems so ultra-classic that it's sort of ordinary seeming, like
Julia and
Katherine and
Mary, but it has less glamor than those. I get a feminine, pretty, very sane and reliable vibe from it.
