| It is certainly of the "Sharon and Tracey"/Karen era of names. Isn't Shaz an acceptably hip derivative these days? |

Isn't Shaz an acceptably hip derivative these days? Definitely not. But Ronnie might be. |

| I think I'd go for "Sha". That's quite unique. |

| Anyway, she just needs some perspective - someone to sit her down and tell her that her name is associated with people as young as 55 years old. That’d cheer any teenager up. |

| I'm trying to think if I knew any Sharons at school. I can think of one who was about my sister's age, so now about 49.
There was a Karen in my year. I remember hilariously calling her Karen Carpenter. |

| You’re probably one of her worst memories, and the reason she spent every lunchtime locked in a lavatory cubicle away from your taunting voice. You didn’t sing a few lines from the greatest hits across the class while everyone fell about laughing at her, did you? |

| Sharon is very Gen X. It’s not baby boomer, and not millennial. This teenager has insulted an entire generation by insisting they’re granny material to sob over.
I think Karen is more baby boom. |

Yes it is. I knew at least 10 people called Sharon during the course of my youth. Karen also multi-occurred. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'

Yes it is. I knew at least 10 people called Sharon during the course of my youth. Karen also multi-occurred. Don’t forget Donna. That seemed to have a good run from the late 50’s to the early 80’s, never heard before or since. |
