Switcheroo! We give the most popular 80s baby girl names a modern twist
The top ten names for girls of the 80s are often-used and well-loved, but for some they might seem a little dated. Enter the switcheroo!
Take a little bit of 80s name and sprinkle it with some modern magic. The results are some contemporary new suggestions that hat tip the old faves. So you can nearly name your daughter after your aunt Kelly. Everyone wins! You’re welcome.
Sarah
Sarah means ‘princess’ and it came in at number 3 in the 1980 popularity stakes. It’s already a gorgeous classic, but you could spin a 2017 version by dropping the H - Sara or matching its princess-y meaning and trying Zara, instead. Sadie is a diminutive of Sarah - and experiencing a revival right now, so you could consider that? Sailor or Sahara are pretty alternatives, too.
