This is actually a myth. Tiffany as a name dates back before Shakespeare. The more you look into Tiffany as a name, thinking it's modern, the more you'll find it just fell out of favor for a while.

    It’s called “The Tiffany Problem”. You might want to use the historically accurate name Tiffany for a character in your 16th century historical fiction novel, but you can’t because it sounds like someone who was born in 1982.
