Reinventing 1980s Girls' Names: #11-15

A while ago, I came up with fresher alternatives for the top 10 girls' names of the 1980s. Today I continue this series with the names that, according to the Social Security Administration, ranked between #11 and #15 during the 1980s.

1. Tiffany (#790)-Tiffany has a bit of history pre-dating its peak decade. It began as the medieval form of the Greek Theophania. However, Tiffany feels too strongly tied to the last generation to remain usable. It also  has the dated "ny/ney" ending of Brittany and Courtney. The 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's contributes to its dated feel, too. Here are some fresher options:
1. Felicity (#386)-This colonial virtue name has the multi-syllable structure and some of the same sounds as Tiffany. More specifically, Felicity contains an "f" and ends in "y". 
2. Idony (unranked)-Idony is structurally similar to Tiffany via its short "I" syllable at the beginning and "nee" sound at the end. Plus, like Tiffany, Idony was used during the Middle Ages. 
3. Tierney (unranked)-Celtic surname-name Tierney is structurally similar to Tiffany. It begins with "t" and ends in the "nee" sound. Despite its ending, Tierney has never been common before and, thus, feels thoroughly contemporary. 
2. Michelle (#336) has only dropped to #336 since leaving the top 100 a decade ago. Still, I can't imagine Michelle on a little girl. It feels too dated. Parents who want to honor a Michelle should use these choices instead:
1. Chevelle (unranked)-Chevelle is structurally similar to Michelle. It contains the same soft mid-"sh" sound and "elle" ending. While the name has two famous bearers from the 1970s, Chevelle never even ranked in the top 1000. 
2. Darelle (unranked)-Darelle is perfect for parents looking for a two-syllable feminized name ending in "elle". As Michelle feminines Michael, Darelle does the same to Darrell even though Darell is not a classic.  
3. Marceline (#971)-Marceline feels as French and begins with the same letter as Michelle. It also contains several of the same sounds, including the "m-c-el" pattern.
3. Amber (#513)-A top twenty choice from the 1980s and 1990s with plenty of usage history before that, Amber feels a little dated. It might still work on a little girl, but either way there are much-fresher options out there:
1. Aspen (#224)-Aspen is a tree name. This being said, it has the same natural connections as Amber. It's a five-letter two-syllable name starting with "a", too. 
2. Briar (#563)-Briar is a unisex name that has the "b" sound and "er" ending of Amber, along with its five-letter two-syllable structure. Plus, Briar is a nature name through its connection to a shrub. 
3. Topaz (unranked)-Amber connects to a gemstone. Topaz is another five-letter two-syllable gemstone name featuring a long "a" sound. Plus, as Amber connects to an orangish-yellow color, Topaz is the birthstone of November. Thus, both names are Fall-inspired. 
4. Megan (#637)-This Welsh form of Margaret was a popular name from the mid-1970s through the 2000s. Today it feels dated and is declining steeply. The following names can be used to honor a Megan while feeling more modern. 
1. Greta (#742)-Greta is perfect for parents seeking to use a contracted form of Margaret. Greta is a Nordic spin on the classic name. Greta also has five letters, two syllables, has short "a", "e", and "g" sounds. 
2. Maren (#438)-Maren is the Scandinivian form of Mary just like Megan is the Welsh form of Margaret. The real reason Maren can replace Megan, though, is that it's a five-letter two-syllable name starting with "m" and ending in "n". It contains "a" and "e" sounds, too. 
3. Tamsin (unranked)-Tamsin has the same ending and Celtic origin as Megan. As Megan is the Welsh form of Margaret, Tamsin is a Cornish contraction of Thomasina. 
5. Amy (#216)-Even though it peaked all the way at #2 during the 1970s, Amy doesn't feel dated. Perhaps it has always ranked within the top 300 and feels as classic as Lucy and Mary. Even though a reboot isn't necessary, parents who grew up in the 1980s might still want something fresher. 
1. Annie (#288)-Annie might be as classic as Amy. It was always in the top 500 and has mostly ranked between the 200s and 300s for a while. Either way, Annie has Amy's sweetness along with its first letter and end sound. Plus, like Amy has literary ties via Little Women, Annie connects to the titular orphan of the popular musical. 
2. Esme (#398)-Esme feels much trendier in style than Amy. However, it's just as short and sweet. It also has a similar sound and meaning. Both Amy and Esme translate into "loved".
3. Macy (#617)-Switch the "a" and "m" around and insert a "c" before the "y". That gets you Macy. It peaked in the 2000s and is declining, even though Macy was never a popular name. 

Which of these alternatives do you like best?
