As a young adult
author, I pay a lot of attention to teen names. Recently I perused some popular name websites for girls born
between 1994 and 2000 (13 years old to 19). Hands down, these were the most popular:
Ashley
Jessica
Sarah
Followed by:
Elizabeth
Samantha
And then:
Taylor
Emily
Hannah
But I have to say, these names don't necessarily line up with the teen readers I hear from and the ones I meet. Many of them tend to have
more unusual names.
So I thought I
would toss this out to our
readers. What is your experience? Do you know a lot of Ashleys and Jessicas and Sarahs? What are popular names for teen girls in your
world?
