[Opinions] Re: Lauren/Laurin
in reply to a message by Array
Thanks for your response. It is interesting to hear someone else's point of view. I am from a Midwest city as well and these names are not overused and don't seem to have been in the last twenty years. I am almost thirty and didn't grow up with anyone by the name Claire, Lauren, or Alyssa. When I think of 80's names Jennifer, Jessica, Nicole, Kimberly, Michelle, Rebecca, Sarah, Angela, Courtney, Melanie, Melissa, Amy, Kristy, Christine all come to mind and even my name Katie. Thanks again for your ideas.

We're on opposite ends of the 80s--that's probably why. I was born in 1987 and thus am only 18. Trust me that there were quite a few Claires and Alyssas in my graduating class--and in the grades below me. On the other hand, I was the only Amy, and I don't think we had any Melanies, Angelas, Kristies, or Melissas--those were very late 70s, early 80s, rather than being late 80s names. Array
I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.
