Is it because it sounds like the old-man’s name [name_m]Don[/name_m]? Is it because it was used in The [name_u]Baby[/name_u]-sitter’s Club series, which was popular in the 80’s? Or is there another reason that I’m not seeing?
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f] is dated because it peaked at #14 in 1971 and has been out of the top 1,000 since 2000.
Ohhhh…Thanks. 
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f] was the [name_u]Addison[/name_u] of the 60s and 70s. That is why it is seen as dated. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a side note, I know two Dawns and both of them are over 40.
