Girls names from when we were young... Ashley, Stephanie, Courtney, Kristin, Britney, Jennifer, Jessica are they totally done for?
My husband likes Ashley, he likes like ee or eigh spelling which is a totally different story all together! But what would you say if you met a toddler which one of these name?
Asking more out of curiosity then for actual use but very interested on input!

Re: Are these names totally dead?
Ashley is still in the top 100, but given how when in its hayday there were 40k baby girls named it, now that less than 4k are given that name it feels like it's disappeared.
It's not my favorite, but I wouldn't side eye a (spelled right, none of that -we or -leigh endings ) toddler named Ashley.
Jessica is also weirdly popular in Australia. Amy is on the rise in the UK. It's funny how other western cultures slowly cycle through other countries popular name choices (like Emma here in the US presently)
I actually really like the name Ashely but I'd never use it because it know so many! Too many personal associations for me.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that no daughter of mine would be Ashlee or Ashleigh!
Ashley Jane is sort of nice, just haven't heard it in YEARS!

Thanks! I'm working my way towards traditional, feminine names. I have always loved different names so for me this list is super tame. I know some are side eye-able, but if you saw it a couple months ago you would be proud!

Sorry had to vent... anyway, out of your current list, I like Ava, Ella, and Charlotte.
I also think Ashley is always awesome.

We're dead set on Jane for a mn for a girl, but are always going back and forth on first names.
Guess it's a good thing I'm not pregnant just yet!

Jennifer seems boring but I love Jennie as a nn. I know a Jennie and she's fun.
Ashlee? Ashleigh? no. Your husband needs to not do that again.
