The memory tugs from the 30’s, 50’s and 70’s have provided many names so there’s no good reason to stop there, right?
I’ll leave it to the more adventurous to delve into the 2000’s, since that’s just too close in time to be as much of a stretch, and likely to produce a fair amount of “noise.”
So go with the VERY FIRST name you think of from the decade of the 1990’s, then list others that may be competing with that one in your mind.
This could be a real cap to the notion of whose names dominate the decades.
If somebody else wants to start threads for the 40’s, 60’s or 80’s, please be my guest. This one is it for me.
