I'm not sure what it has to do with, but I don't think it's age.
I've never really liked a lot of "modern" names.
From your list, I do think these are really nice, and a few have been on my list at times:
Brooke,
Carys,
Chiara,
Eden,
Gwendolyn,
Jasmine,
Jewel,
Raven,
SummerCallum,
Christian,
Clark,
Gabriel,
Leland,
Mitchell
I'm 39 and my taste used to be more similar to other posters here than it is now. After I started looking up names online and getting on message boards, or maybe it was getting pregnant that did it - my taste changed a little. It got easier to see that names that intrigued me, were not necessarily the names I'd be comfortable using for my own kids. After I had children my taste changed a little again. Today my top names are probably
Amy,
Edith,
Meryl,
Julia,
Lark,
Claudia,
Audra,
HeatherMerrick,
Damon,
Marcus,
Valentine "
Val,"
Adrian,
Conrad,
Drake
