stereotype these girl names

Alison

Ashlynn

Jocelyn

Alison is well educated. 

Ashlyn (I don't like the two Ns) & Jocelyn are cheerleaders.

With these names this is what I'd probably think of the parents:

Alison - desired a feminine name that was well established, but without being an old school/grandmother classic type of established.

Ashlyn - less educated or otherwise not concerned with names with an established history. Not afraid to be part of the -Lynn trend which many associate with white trash (look up Seth Macfarlane's Ted movie clip)

Jocelyn - looking for something that feels a little different, without going outside of established name options. Stumbled into a name which they may be disappointed to discover its not as "different" as they thought it was when they meet another Jocelyn in dear DD's class (because it's feeling a bit trendy to me)

Pretty much this, but I do not find Jocelyn trendy in the least.

I gues when I wrote a little bit trendy what I was thinking, or really meant, is I feel it comes up on this board quite a bit, more than one might expect given its SSN ranking
