The second portion of my quest to narrow down this impossibly long list: the outliers.
My style is very typical names from the 70s/80s, the ones that are so tied to the eras, you can practically hear them saying things like “totally tubular”, so dated names are very much welcome for me!
[name_u]Alexis[/name_u]- too close to [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] which would get annoying around house. of course by the time you have kids [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] may not be a thing
[name_f]Carly[/name_f]- I like it, but think I prefer it as a nn to [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f].
[name_f]Larissa[/name_f] is not my favorite but [name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] isn’t bad
[name_f]Autumn[/name_f] feels slightly more modern than the rest
[name_f]Brenda[/name_f] feels a little more dated (60s-70s). Not a bad thing, just doesn’t scream 80s to the 90s like your signature
[name_f]Emily[/name_f] sticks out as the one that fits
Names of classmates during this era that may help
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Melinda[/name_f] nn [name_f]Mindy[/name_f] (her sister was [name_f]Crystal[/name_f], so [name_f]Crystal[/name_f] fits, I just think ahe is too close to [name_f]Krista[/name_f] and such)
[name_f]Melissa[/name_f]
[name_u]Angel[/name_u]
brandy
[name_f]Amber[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Megan[/name_f]
[name_f]Amanda[/name_f]
Obviously there were more but I only included the ones that there were multiples of.
[name_f]Crystal[/name_f], [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f], [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], and [name_f]Leanne[/name_f] all fit with the names in your signature - they’re all very Babysitter’s Club. [name_f]Autumn[/name_f] is my favorite name on your list! I picture a girl with springy copper curls wearing brown corduroy overalls and a striped longsleeve tee.
I think all of them would fit in in perfectly but my favourites are [name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] & [name_f]Larissa[/name_f]!
I think [name_f]Tara[/name_f], [name_f]Jillian[/name_f], [name_u]Dana[/name_u], [name_f]Carly[/name_f], [name_f]Autumn[/name_f], [name_f]Larissa[/name_f] and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] all got well with your list!! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Larissa[/name_f]!!
My top three are [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Carly[/name_f], and [name_f]Autumn[/name_f].
I would remove [name_f]Jillian[/name_f], [name_u]Leslie[/name_u], [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f] “[name_u]Jackie[/name_u]”, and [name_f]Brenda[/name_f] because I find them super outdated and unattractive. [name_f]Crystal[/name_f], [name_u]Andrea[/name_u], [name_u]Dana[/name_u], [name_u]Lisa[/name_u], and [name_f]Karen[/name_f] aren’t great either.
I would also remove [name_f]Tara[/name_f] due to pronunciation issues.
Names that are not my style but are okay and fit with your signature: [name_f]Kayla[/name_f], [name_u]Alexis[/name_u], [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_u]Alix[/name_u], [name_f]Rochelle[/name_f], [name_f]Carolyn[/name_f], [name_f]Larissa[/name_f], [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], [name_f]Leanne[/name_f].
