[Greenandcabbagelooking]

Some older names I don't think will be returning:

Ethel
Enid
Sheila
Carol

Archibald
Gary
Brian
Reginald

Any to add?

[EhUp]

There are plenty of little Archies & Reggies about and I'm guessing some of these will be Archibald/ Reginald on the birth certificate

I know people with young kids called Ethel and Enid....and Archibald (archie) and Reginald (reggie) are super popular right now.

I would agree with a pp who said Karen after being turned into a meme and also Sharon, Linda, Sandra, Pamela, Gillian and Patricia.

For boys, I'd say Nigel, Kevin, Colin, Derek, Norman.....i would have said Percy but someone I know has just called their baby that!

[chunkyrun]

Yea I think Karen's died a death

I know loads of archies, Harry's, franks etc.

Also know of one baby Keith unfortunately named after his dad.

Maureen
Beverly
Debbie
Jackie
Maud

Graham
Dave
Norbert

Ethel and Enid are definitely coming back. Sheila and Carol will in another 20-30 years, probably. Archibald and Reginald are already back. Brian and Gary are similar to Sheila and Carol. Give it time.

[DerbyshireGirly]

Definitely Keith.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I don’t think there are any names that won’t make a comeback.
