Hello all! I’m considering writing a story set around the turn of the century (1999-2000), so I need some names that would make sense for that time period! The main characters will be college aged, so they’ll have been born at the end of the 70s or early 80s. What are some names beyond the most popular ones from the social security top 100? Give me any! Your common, your uncommon, your rare even. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of main and background characters who will need naming.
Ty!
