Help[Opinions] Re: Names in the Show I Watched
in reply to a message by Rainya
Nicole as a name for a modern-day teen feels anachronistic! Although I suppose 15 years ago it wasn't SO uncommon.... It's just very 80s. I guess it would be the equivalent of a teenager named Lori in the 90s. The other teen names seem very appropriate.
I love Wally, it's adorable. Rhonda is fun, and Janet is growing on me. I really liked it after watching The Good Place.

Yeah, now that you say that, I’ve never met a Nicole (I’m 22). I think it’s such a lovely name, so that’s pretty disappointing! What’s even stranger is Nicole is a Hispanic character, but Nicole isn’t a Hispanic name. Race/ethnicity wasn’t a focus of the show, though.
My birth name was Nichole and I'm 22. I've never met another my age, but it was in the top 1000 at the time, so I can see why a writer might choose it for someone born around the same time as me.
