Names that should come back

Inspired by the other thread, I was thinking today that Dawn is a name that is gentle and soothing - meaning and sound.

John, Peter and Paul - simple classic names.

All nice names. Some 'unique' names are awful (imo!)

Oh, and I agree about some modern names - I doubt they will last a generation.

Oh no, not Peter! I’m reminded of being at school in French and the name Peter being the French word for fart Grin
Ever since I’ve linked Peter and farts Blush
Yes, I’m very immature but I really don’t like the name Peter!

Monty

I know 3 little boys called Monty!

I think Lisa is a beautiful name and I also quite like Tracey. More classical names like Louise and Victoria are also nice. And I’ve weirdly started to like Elaine lately. For boys I think Graham, Simon & Benjamin are due a comeback. Possibly also Andrew and David.

I met a 4 year old Peter at the park today! You never meet a Mark these days.

Was at work the other day and a mother came in with a couple of very small boys probably about 4 or 5. One of them was called Steven. I wasn’t expecting that 😂😂
