A person who is 18 would have been born about 1997. A couple of popular names in the '90s were Kaitlin and Alexis. I would avoid names that have a soft sound to them like Emily or Mia. Here are some websites to use to check names:<br>http://www.galbithink.org/names/us200.htm<br>http://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/names1970s.html<br><br>I hope this helps.Janet Kerrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-141818350819675908.post-26489851343601296202015-04-20T02:41:37.000-05:002015-04-20T02:41:37.000-05:00Wow-- when I saw that super picture of the blond -...Wow-- when I saw that super picture of the blond - I thought of an old friend in high school. I know it's outdated possibly, but the name Babs has always had a fascinating person behind it. The real name Barbara is fine - but was never able to get close to a girl, if she was called Babs. :O) Bless you dear Peg, this is fun. Can't wait to see what the "real name" turns out to be.

And thanks for the link. If I don't get any satisfactory name suggestions, I'll take a look. Thing is, the two names you mentioned...Kaitlin is the name of one of my great-neices only she spells hers with a "C" - and she's not catty at all. :) - Alexis is a good name for this gal.
