Honest opinions of [name_f]Erin[/name_f] for a little girl? You can be as honest as you want, I would love some different feedback

Thanks guys

I’m not a fan of [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. It feels dated and just blah.

[violet1296]

Let me start by saying that, as an early twenty-something named [name_f]Erin[/name_f], I’m not a fan of my name. I’ve known so many Erins throughout my life, so much so that in high school, there were several of us with the same last initial so we had to go by middle names. I agree with the previous poster, today [name_f]Erin[/name_f] feels dated, and I think even for my generation, [name_f]Erin[/name_f] is dated, as I’ve met several older Erins who have said to me, “Oh, I thought [name_f]Erin[/name_f] was too old for someone your age.”

It sounds cute, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the name at ALL, but the reality is that it won’t feel as fresh as other options, due to its popularity.

[Susette]

Never liked it, and never understood why it was even popular at one time.

[aleerakate]

I really like [name_f]Erin[/name_f], to me it’s not dated at all and I’ve only ever met 1 [name_f]Erin[/name_f], who is so lovely and in her late 20’s, it probably depends where you live as to how popular/dated it feels.

I would definitely consider using it if my partner hadn’t already used it for a pet rat a few years ago.

[MystiqueDeep]

I know it reached it’s popularity peak back in the 80s or 90s, but I still really like the name. It’s not one of my personal top choices for a name, but I wouldn’t think anything strange about meeting a little [name_f]Erin[/name_f] today.

[6sophien6]

I like more feminine names, so [name_f]Erin[/name_f] isn’t my taste.

Maybe [name_f]Erica[/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] (pronounced like [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] but an E sound in the front)

[Greyblue]

i love [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. It’s so sweet and pretty but also feels sturdy and not at all frilly. I love the nickname Ezzy for it, but [name_f]Erin[/name_f] on it’s own is lovely

[detective_chuckles]

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the feedback

[emekct]

I think it would be refreshing to meet a little [name_f]Erin[/name_f] today. It peaked in the 80s and 90s but was no where near as popular as say [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f]. It’s been more than 20 years since it peaked and would be a fresh choice [name_f]IMO[/name_f].

BTW my name is [name_f]Erin[/name_f] born in the 80’s and I never experienced meeting too many of them, or having to go by a last initial to identify myself. I highly doubt that would be the case in this time. [name_f]Erin[/name_f] was selected for me as the first born Irish grandchild as it means “Girl from ireland” I say go for it!

Basic white girl name imo

[PrimButcher]

Since it’s not as popular anymore, your [name_f]Erin[/name_f] would likely be the only one in her class, if not her school. [name_f]Erin[/name_f] might sound blah to mom-age people, but her classmates would encounter in quite differently. A lot of nameberries are down on mom names but when I encounter little [name_f]Mary[/name_f], Frannies and Judiths in the wild, it’s surprisingly adorable.

If you can remove [name_f]Erin[/name_f] from the 70s/80s context, I think you can appreciate it’s Irish charm. If [name_u]Aidan[/name_u]/[name_m]Liam[/name_m]/[name_m]Declan[/name_m]/Niambh/
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]/[name_f]Aoife[/name_f] can be all the rage, is [name_f]Erin[/name_f] so out of place and so out of step?

[autumnreverie]

I think it’s dated. It hit its peak in the early '80s and has been declining since. Kind of random, but the name made it onto the popularity charts for boys from the 1960s to the 1990s. I just learned that.

[detective_chuckles]

Thanks for all the feedback guys

[boyandgirl]

I think it’s a sweet, traditional name.

[tamparays8]

I have quite a few friends in their middle 20s to early 30s with the name [name_f]Erin[/name_f] and [name_f]Eryn[/name_f]. Some pronounce it “[name_f]Air[/name_f]-rin” and others “Eh-rin.”

It is one of my favorite “dated” names. So yes to me it’s dated, but I still like it. It’s in the group of [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_f]Jessica[/name_f], [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], [name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Natalie[/name_f], [name_u]Allison[/name_u], [name_f]Amy[/name_f].

[ashthedreamer]

I actually really like it. I love your [name_f]Erin[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], and I find [name_f]Erin[/name_f] to be sweet, understated, and charming. It’s gotten a lot of usage in previous generations, but I don’t know that I’ve known more than one, personally, aside from berries. I would love to meet a little [name_f]Erin[/name_f], and I like it a lot with so many of your other favorites—[name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Thea[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Hallie[/name_f], etc.!

[sablonde]

I like [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. It’s fresher than most “dated” names.

[skylerros]

I met one at the park. Upon introducing herself, she immediately said, “It’s [name_f]Erin[/name_f], with an E, not [name_m]Aaron[/name_m]! I’m a girl.”
