[Opinions] Re: Girl Names From the 1960's
in reply to a message by Pickles
Lisa - dated now, but still better than Liz
Donna - 'Once upon a looking-for-Donna time there was a sixteen-year-old virgin'; an excellent song but unfortunate if that's your name. Silly to call anyone Lady or Mrs.
Sandra - deeply tedious
Brenda - better than Sandra, but still not good
Sharon - hard to imagine in today's world: it's all beehive hairdo and Mary Quant eyeliner
Denise - prefer Denis for a boy; not bad though
Robin - all male especially in the 60s: they would have feminised it as Robyn
Rhonda - More 60s music - my lucky day! I love the Beach Boys, and - thank you, guys - I also love Rhonda
Janet - Oh, Brad! Seriously, a delightful form of Jane, much nicer than Janice; I'd welcome a come-back
Wendy - eternally youthful: pretty, though, rather like Shirley
Paula - much nicer than Pauline; OK, but I prefer Paul for a boy
Sheila - I like Sheila, the sound is lovely. Wish it had lasted
Suzanne - takes your hand ... OK, I'll stop now! The nicest form of Susan, and one I'd consider using
