[Opinions] Re: Veronica
Where are you from, if you don't mind my asking? I'm curious because where I'm from, the Eastern US, Heather has definitely not reached old lady status yet. The oldest Heather I know is fifty, but it's unusual to find a Heather that old. She was born in 1962, when Heather was number 247 in the US. It didn't start to take off until the late sixties, and was really popular starting in the early seventies going through the eighties. Of the other Heathers I've known, my niece is the oldest, and she's thirty-eight, definitely not an old lady. Much as I dislike the name, I just can't see it as "old lady". My grandchildren probably will, but that's in the future.

I live in New Zealand. The youngest Heather I know is over 40, and she's a bit of an outlier. Most of the Heather's I've met are 60+ so its just starting to hit the old lady age.

Oh, not the UK, New Zealand! Interesting. I couldn't find any popularity statistics for Heather in New Zealand, but I guess its popularity peaked earlier there than in the US.

Yeah you won't find many popularity statistics further back than about 5 years for NZ unfortunately, they're so slack with that
