[Opinions] Re: Trendy or Dated?
I just have to comment on the above, because Cheryl is an invented name; it's just a name that was invented 100 years ago instead of a decade ago. I don't have any reliable records of women named Cheryl before about 1900, and it was a big booming trendy name in the 1940s, coming out of nowhere to be extremely popular. People who named their daughters Cheryl in the 1940s and 1950s could have been just as easily accused of having a "pack mentality" and giving their daughter a "trendy" name as people today who name their daughters Madison, Kaylee, Mackenzie, or Destiny are.If you now accept Cheryl as being a perfectly good though "dated" name, the chances are that 70 years from now most people will have exactly the same feelings about presently popular recent inventions such as Jaden, Caden, Makayla, Makenna, etc.
