These popular Gen X names have gone extinct: 'realizing we're middle-aged'
Briefly

The TikTok account Nostalgia Nut has taken it upon themselves to list Gen X names that they've deemed "obsolete" in 2024, including popular names like Karen, Donna, and Gary.
Karen here! I am saddened by what has happened to my name. Is there a Manager I can speak to? Pronto😂, a response highlighting the humor and cultural significance tied to the name's decline.
Many added their own "obsolete" names to the list: Melissa, Jason, Barbara, and Heather - illustrating how generational shifts in naming reflect broader societal changes.
Of course, there was much debate about the age of Gen Xers, but some embraced their status, such as this Tracey, who wrote: "I’m ok with my name being on this list."
