Bluebird64, Fiona was very popular in England when l was born in the sixties; l have known several and was nearly given that name myself. Isn't it interesting how names go in and out of fashion? Other girls' names that were very common at that time were Helen, Julie, Maria (The Sound of Music was a big hit!), Susan/Susanna/Suzanne, Jane, Joanne, Claire, Nicola, Gillian, Catherine/Katherine, Sarah, Elizabeth, Sharon and Tracey. My own name, while not as common as these, is very much of the time too. I am amazed that anyone called Linda would have their name questioned. It has to have been one of the most popular girls' names of the fifties, along with Susan, Ann/Anne, Gillian and Janet.
