Does Your Forename Date You?

[mrs_overall]

I was having a girly lunch with some friends yesterday - we are all the same age - and we got onto the subject of our forenames. We agreed that all our forenames date us to the decade in which we were born.
Does yours?

Mine goes back quite a way, but I was only born in 1972.
