HelpRe: Do you think timeless names are overrated?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
I do think that many people worry too much about wondering if a name will be dated in the future. I think trying to stick with classic, timeless names is sometimes done not really out of a love for those names, but in an effort to avoid embarrassment.
I can understand that desire, but I also think it's kind of sad. It's a shame.
Being able to see the spirit of the age reflected in people's names is really SO COOL. I am currently going through archived records that my city has released and let me tell you, it is way more fun to come across the dated names. But then, that's me looking at it through a historian's lens.
I guess timelessness IS kind of boring, because usually timeless names are very stable and unchanging. But for some people that can be comforting.
Maybe the thing that I find overrated is the idea that a timeless name is somehow better than a trendy one. I'm even guilty of that kind of thinking sometimes!
