The kids I used to know

  1. Suzanne
    • Origin:

      French variation of Susan
    • Meaning:

      "lily"
    • Description:

      Suzanne became popular along with Susan but has just dropped out of the Top 1,000. Wait a generation (or two) in the US, though in France Suzanne is once again tres chic.
  2. Tracey
    • Origin:

      Variation of Tracy, French
    • Meaning:

      "of Thracia"
    • Description:

      Tracey is the spelling of Tracy used by British comedian Tracey Ullman, who was born Trace. A Top 10 name in 1970, Tracy was last year given to fewer than 50 baby girls in the US and Tracey to only 13. But if the Hundred Year Rule holds, Tracey and Tracy are halfway back to a comeback.
  3. Hayley
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "hay field"
    • Description:

      It all started in 1946, when Hayley Mills was given her mother's maiden name. Now that spelling is in third place, after Hailey and Haley, with all three adding up to one of the most popular names in the country. Hayley is the most used spelling in Australia.
  4. Stacey
    • Description:

      Stacey is a feminine name (though also used for boys) with Greek origins, derived from Eustace, meaning 'fruitful' or 'productive.' Initially a diminutive of Anastasia, meaning 'resurrection,' Stacey emerged as an independent name in its own right. The name reached peak popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, becoming emblematic of that era. Stacey conveys a friendly, approachable quality while maintaining a certain spirited energy. While its usage has declined since its heyday, the name retains nostalgic appeal and continues to be appreciated for its pleasant sound and unpretentious charm. Various spelling variations exist, including Stacy and Stacie, each offering slight personalization while preserving the name's essential character.
  5. Nikki
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Nicole or Indian, Punjabi, Sikh
    • Meaning:

      "people of victory; little one"
    • Description:

      Nikki was the it-girl name of the 1970s and '80s as both a short form of Top 10 favorite Nicole and as a given name itself.
  6. Donna
    • Origin:

      Italian
    • Meaning:

      "lady"
    • Description:

      Literally meaning "lady" in Italian, Donna was the perfect ladylike housewife mom name on The Donna Reed Show in the fifties and sixties. And there were plenty of namesakes: Donna was in the Top 10 in 1964. These days we'd be more likely to associate it with the emanciatpated clothes of Donna Karen than as a baby name.
  7. Tanya
    • Origin:

      Russian diminutive of Tatiana
    • Description:

      Long integrated into the U. S. name pool but still retaining some Slavic flavor, Tanya feels a bit tired; it's ready for replacement by cooler Russian choices like Sasha, Mischa, or parent name Tatiana.
  8. Jenny
    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Janet, Jane, Jean, and Jennifer
    • Description:

      At the height of the Jennifer craze, many parents were cutting straight to the nickname and putting Jenny on the birth certificate. But now that Jennifer is the mom rather than the daughter, Jenny, which has been somewhat replaced by Jenna, has faded as well.
  9. Louise*
    • Emma*
      • Clementine*
        • Jade*
          • Josephine*
            • Faye*
              • Shaun/Sean
                • Brandon*
                  • Jodie/Jody
                    • Lizzie*
                      • Laura*
                        • Kirsty*
