HelpRe: Ages?

I'm 27. I think you might be right in thinking there is a correlation between more mature people liking more old-fashioned names. Not that liking "modern" names is "immature", but that just seems to be a natural pattern I notice as well. Older parents seem to favour more traditional names. I now love the names I used to hate when I was a teenager.
However it seems to start going the other way as well the older you get ...I notice a lot of "grandparent-age" people really dislike old fashioned names and find them ugly. I guess because there is not a lot of charm in those names for them since they grew up with them! I'm sure I'll wrinkle my nose at my kids thinking Justin and Kimberly are "refreshing" ;)
um whoops my favourite names are things like
Pearl
Lavinia
Seraphine
Fern
Ferdinand
Casper
Hugo
Rex
pretty old fashioned I guess
