Millennial mother reveals the popular names that are now considered ‘OLD people’ monikers by Gen Alpha – so, is YOURS one of them?

A woman has revealed what primary school children consider ‘old people’ names – and many of them will sound uncomfortably familiar to millennials.

“All of these names actually look like the new Margaret or Barbara,” she concluded about the awkward revelation.

Of the more than 2.6 million people who watched the video, thousands took to the comments to discuss this new-found information.

“They have no idea they have old people’s names,” one person commented.

“They don’t know the ‘new names’ are actually grandma names for us lol,” a second agreed.

“And they don’t know we just reused old people’s names, lol,” echoed a mother of millennials.

‘Ashley is definitely a child’s name!!’ one viewer – named Ashley – commented. “Grandma Ashley loves me lol.”
