Hmm… I like [name_f]Noreen[/name_f], if that counts a “dated” :sweat_smile:

I didn’t think [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] was dated? When was it popular?

Cassandra, [name_f]Christine[/name_f], [name_f]Heather[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f], [name_f]Annette[/name_f], [name_m]Eugene[/name_m], and [name_m]Raymond[/name_m] are a few that come to mind.

I’ve always considered it a little dated-- it peaked in the 90s, though it was never super-duper popular. (it was in the top 100 from 1990-1999 and otherwise has always been outside of it.) I’ve only met Mirandas who were born in the 90s, personally.

I love [name_f]Christine[/name_f]! And [name_f]Wendy[/name_f], too – though probably not on its own (nn for [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]).

I like the names [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (or [name_f]Tilda[/name_f], after British actress [name_f]Tilda[/name_f] Swenton) & [name_f]Midge[/name_f], real “Old [name_f]Lady[/name_f] Cool” names👍

I agree with the previous posters that [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f] is absolutely divine.

I also like [name_f]Diana[/name_f], I feel like it’s so associated with the era of the princess so quite dated as a result. But I really like it.

For boys I really like [name_m]Marcel[/name_m]. Maybe not dated in some areas but for many I think it instantly brings to mind the [name_m]Marceau[/name_m] days.

Edit: This thread made me realize that I really, really love dated names. Most I didn’t think of…
