Help[Opinions] Re: Madison
in reply to a message by Ismene
It's just the way people are, I think...they don't look back on the fashions and mores of past generations and think "Were they crazy?" but they often do that at changes that take place in their lifetimes. For instance, people who were in their forties and fifties back in 1960's didn't look back on long skirts, bustles, and crinolines as being crazy but they did shake their heads in dismay at the love beads, guys with long hair and beards, miniskirts, headbands, tie-died shirts, etc. that young people then were sporting.
It's not just Madison with me, either. I also shake my head at Addison, MacKenzie, Bailey, Sheridan, and pretty much any surname on a girl. It's a fashion that didn't exist when I was young (well, really young) and I tend to think that I just don't understand it because I was well past adulthood when it started.
Anyway, I really didn't mean for my "taste and judgment of the younger generation" comment to be taken that seriously. I actually do like some names that are popular now.
