Generational Gap?

[lickystyx.livejournal.com]

I've noticed that the names of people around me from a generation or more ago have a lot of names I'd never even consider using if I were nameing a child today. And yet, I still like a lot of them anyway. I'm just going to throw you a mixed bag of names I like and don't like of people in my life. Tell me, what do you think?

I really like a lot of those names especially Harriet.
