Why is dated bad?
Why is dated bad,?? I am assuming both you and Ninor our not in the US because I don't think its common enough here to even be considered dated!

From an area where the accent dumps and adds rs in the prn. of various places in words that other En. speakers don't?

That's interesting. Where I come from, a kid with a name pronounced TOSH-ten would probably get a lot of compliments.
It's weird how different perceptions can be across the world, isn't it?

I don't think it has to be popular to be dated, it just has to be stereotypically an 'old person name' (and not in a good way)- names that are not ready for a comeback yet.

No, we are both in Sweden. If you ask me, dated doesn't have to be bad. There is dated in a bad way, and a good way. Torsten is dated in a bad way for me (it is very weird on a child today, wrong generation etc)

So its not dated enough for a comeback, but maybe in a few generations it would be? That kind of bad dated?
