Help[Opinions] Donna
For a long time I associated Donna with two people:
1. One of my stepmom's best friends, since the late 70s
2. Donna Pinciotti from "That 70s Show"
So for me it has long been a name belonging to women who were teenagers in the late-70s / early-80s, and thus a very dated name. However, I started watching "Twin Peaks" recently, and one of the main characters is Donna Hayward (played by Lara Flynn Boyle, who I didn't even recognize in the pilot episode). After hearing the name so much in a context outside of a 70s high school (though still often in a high school), my ears have gotten used to hearing it. Donna sounds... young and lively, now!
What do you think of the name Donna? How do you think a young Donna would fare today? What middle names would you pair with it (I'm open to suggestions)?
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
