Seventies Pop Culture

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Good Morning...

Just wandered if any one had any suggestions for an unusal, pop culture related name for a female born aroung 1975. TV, books, music, social issues, whatever. It would help if it could be shorted to a reasonabley normal nickname...or if the first and middle initials were passable as a nn (AJ, JD, etc...).

Thanks!

Just doing a little 'net surfing since I wasn't alive back then but...

Farrah, though I don't know if that's unusal enough. Plus there's no good nn.

Captain and Tennille were kind of big back then. So maybe Tennille, with the nn Teenie.

what an interesting way to kill time on my midnight shift. i was born in 1975.

here (http://www.nndb.com/lists/974/000105659/)is a list people born in 1975. mostly actors/actresses. just a google search brings up drew barrymore and angelina jolie a lot. this (http://www.saidwhat.co.uk/quotes/year/1975) site has some quotes, no luck with a nn though...

and the motherload (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975) of people born in 1975.

good luck with that one.

How about Rhiannon, from the Fleetwood Mac song of the same name released in 1975? Annie could be a reasonably normal nickname.

I'm thinking Susannah should be modern-hippie enough :P

Susannah Jane, perhaps, and could go by SJ, an ex-coworker of mine was Sara Jane, and everybody called her SJ, pronounced as CJ. I really liked it )
