Stuck. Up for a game?

Renisra+2 · October 2014

I'm stuck-in-the-mud with these names, so I've completely erased my list, and I'm starting from scratch.

I tend to like traditional or old-fashioned names that were probably more popular in the 70's or 80's than they are now, and those that are familiar, and easy to pronounce and spell.

So...I was thinking a fun way to get some new suggestions would be if everyone wanted to tell me their names! Or if you don't want to share your name, how about a sister or a mom? First names only please!

Oh, and I only need girl names

My girl list at this moment is:

Claudia
Rachel
Jessica
Natalie
Jillian

I'm not into the old lady name trend, I work with the 75+ population, I have negative associations with most of the names.

Thank you! I'm adding Rachel and Natalie to my list. I don't care for the old lady trend either, but I guess I should've said I like names that were more popular when I was born than the current trends.
