Help[Opinions] Re: Erin?
in reply to a message by pixie_btrfly
Whether or not Erin has ever been popular enough to be dated is something that wanders into the territory of fact, as opposed to an opinion. The fact is, Erin was popular enough to be dated. It went into the top hundred in 1971, hovered around #20 from 1977 through 1983, reaching a high of #18 in 1983. Then it started dropping, but didn't leave the top hundred until 2005. If it isn't dated already, it's well on its way to being so. That type of popularity run and then drop is the very definition of being dated.
Now you can say it doesn't feel dated to you, and that is an opinion. But personally I determine dated-ness by the statistics and not how it feels to me based upon whom I've known. How it feels to any individual really isn't relevant to someone who wants to avoid a dated name, anyway.
