There were 4 or 5 of them in my high school in the 80s, all born in the 70s. I think of it as a 70s babyname, not an 80s babyname, I guess because I was never in touch with 80s-born kids much in my life so I would not have noticed it was more popular in the 80s. I did not like the name then. It made me think of words like fluffy and tiff (like, conflict - sounds aggressive) and spiffy and such, and of Tiffany & Co (pretentious). It wasn't particularly cheerleaderish but it did sound sort of stuckup, in the way that Heather or Stacy or any other name that was fresh on that age group did.

Now I like it. I think it's a great name and would not mind being a Tiffany, although I'm not sure I'd use it myself because of the sound. It certainly isn't any trashier or tackier than Stephanie or Nicole or Denise or Megan. Lisa, Kelly, Courtney, and Amber seem tackier than Tiffany (btw I like Kelly and Amber okay).

I don't have any negative stereotypes about a Tiffany born today or her parents.
