Help[Opinions] What do you think of as “grandparents names”?
In my case, in the case of Korean names, I recognized names that end with ja or names containing Sook, Sun, Ok, Myeong as grandparents's name.
And in the case of English names, I recognized names that are have comeback, such as Alice and Evelyn, and those that have not comeback, such as Gertrude and Bertha, names popular during World War II like Barbara and Phyllis, mid-20th century names like Brenda and Debbie, as grandparents's name.
(And now that I think about it, old names are trending these days, and I guess I'm one of them. I really like (next-generation) grandparent names like Jennifer, April, Jason, Heidi, Julie, Holly, Michelle, Jeffrey, Erica, Brian, Darcy, Scott, Christine, Dawn, Jacqueline, Heath, Stacy, Kelly, Heather, Jesse, Dana, Leslie, Kimberly, Amy, Robin, Erin, Denise, Jeremy, Monica, Shannon, Bridget, Renee, Wendy... (It was a joke. Names from the 60's to 70's are not popular now.))
Edit-The comments on this post made me reflect on my own ageist prejudice. In the end, most names become the names of grandparents over time, and that doesn't mean the name becomes bad. From now on, I have decided to refrain from using the expression old or old-fashioned when I feel that the name are not my style or when I do not like this. And I apologize for using such expressions.
