My Name There was a student same as my name "Hisako" in my school. I was so surprised because this name is kind of old name. In my grandmother's generation, it was common but not anymore nowadays so I seldom meet person who has this name. Besides she is one year younger than me so we are in same generation. When I was a student, I didn't like my name I prefered fancy and modern one. But now, I think I like my name because I'm old fashioned so it fits my personality.

Great writing. When you met this person, did you say "久(子)しぶりです”?

* "old-fashioned" is a good expression. (「昔ながらの」というですか？) You used this expression at the end. It would also fit here nicely.

** 面白いですね！アメリカも同じです。Names come back in cycles.

*** "from the same generation" or "of the same generation" is more natural.
