[Opinions] Re: Classic or Dated?
in reply to a message by rem
I'd call something a classic if A. upon hearing it I'd have no guess what age the person would be and B. if it didn't stick out to me at all.
So, like
William
John
Michael
Paul
Robert
Thomas
David
Daniel
Benjamin
Joseph
Isaac
Jacob
Peter
Andrew
Samuel
Katherine
Caroline
Elizabeth
Anna
Sarah
Margaret
Laura
Julia
Lydia

Hmm, and I think of Caroline Margaret and Lydia as dated. But I don't think of Dorothea that way, maybe because I only knew one and know that it was used on a previous generation as well... maybe it's in where you are and who you've known.
I will say that Caroline improved when I saw it on one of my daughter's gymnastics classmates, though I still think of it as Laura Ingall's mother's name.

Interesting. I know like 100 Carolines my age (22) and all around it, and several Lydias, and tons of Margarets...
