[Opinions] Re: Why do mid-20th century name category tend to not get a many fan?
It's just not their time yet. Fashion follows a cycle. I think Anneza is right in that midcentury names are too familiar in an unglamorous way to some people. Many people on the boards (and elsewhere) just can't appreciate the characteristics of midcentury names yet. But in time, perhaps they will. I used to hate many midcentury names, I thought they were so boring and inherently unlikeable. But after 20 years of the current trends, they are starting to feel downright refreshing.

I am starting to appreciate midcentury names a lot more now too.
Thank you. So, as time passes, the evaluation of some mid-20th century names will increase.
Yes, I think it's inevitable! I've heard a few theories about how long it takes - 50 years, 80 years, 100 years, etc.
