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.
