HelpRe: Jason
in reply to a message by I Love Jesus
There is nothing inherently wrong with it. It's a handsome name.
But...it was so mega-popular during the seventies and eighties that it's now tired and worn-out. Off of the top of my head I can think of five Jasons I've known in my life, and if I really stopped to think about it I could probably remember more.
It's just too common. My reaction now, to someone naming their newborn Jason, would be an eyeroll and "Don't they realize that that's a tired, becoming-passe-and-dated name? Surely they could have come up with something fresher than that!"
I can see why it gained such widespread appeal, because it's a nice name, but it needs a rest.
