I voted [name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], and [name_u]Kelly[/name_u]. Of the three, I think [name_f]Heather[/name_f] is the most ready for a comeback. [name_f]My[/name_f] name is [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] so I wish that one would be timeless too :laughing:

When I think about it [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] is actually a gorgeous name. I love Cornish names and I understand why this one was used so much. I would probably choose [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] now but objectively [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] is still very pretty.

never apologize! these posts on nameberry are helping me stay occupied lol.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites from those are [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] and [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]. I think both are pretty, and I really like the sounds of them. I prefer the nicknames [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Effie[/name_f] though, personally!
Growing up, I had a negative association with [name_f]Heather[/name_f], so I still have negative feelings towards it. It is nice though. [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] isn’t my favorite, I don’t really like the imagery it gives me (like a spoiled, unkind girl?), but that’s another personal thing. [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] is pretty, but seems a bit more plain the rest.
I’ve known so many people with each of these names, so they all seem a tiny bit overused to me. However, I don’t see them used much on little kids anymore, so I’d be delighted to meet someone young named one of them!

I’ve always liked [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] and [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f], and [name_f]Heather[/name_f] is growing on me as well. [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] and [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] are nice names, but more NMS.

I love [name_f]Heather[/name_f], it’s so soft and beautiful, and it makes me think of nature and honey and the purple hills of the [name_u]Lake[/name_u] District ([name_f]England[/name_f]).

[name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] is really cute, but Stephie makes me think of “stuffy”, I think [name_u]Steph[/name_u] is a better nn

I think the nickname, [name_f]Jennie[/name_f], is a classic.:blush:

I’ve always quite liked the sound of [name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] and think it could work really well on a modern child ([name_f]Tiffany[/name_f] was never overly common here in Australia, so it doesn’t feel to ‘belong’ to any particular decade really). It’s sweet.

In all honesty, the other’s do sound very 70’s to me, so do feel quite dated.

Definitely [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f]. It is my childhood favourite, which I still adore even now. I don’t think I’ll ever use, but only because I can’t really picture it on my kid, you know? I’d be delighted to meet a little [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] though! :smiley:
