I know babies called Stephen, Bruce and Winnifred.

Can't see Derek, Kenneth or Terence coming back soon.

Insomnia11 · 30/08/2011 15:43

Don't forget, to my mum's generation calling their children Stephen, Simon, Ian, Claire, Louise, Deborah, Edwardian names that have come back in fashion like Alfred, Samuel, Oliver, Emily, Olivia, Charlotte probably sound strange at first.

Insomnia11 · 30/08/2011 15:38

I bet these will all be fashionable when I'm a grandma.

Granddaughters will be Margery Hilda and Janet Susan. :)

MumblingRagDoll · 30/08/2011 15:34

Dorcas and Beryl have both been coming bak slowly.

I vote for Sharon, Tracy, Lynne, Jackie.

Insomnia11 · 30/08/2011 15:34

Janet, Sheila, Brenda, Kevin, Dick, Fanny, Hilda.

TheRedQueen · 30/08/2011 15:33

Can't think of a name for a boy, so two for girls:

Hilda

Winnifred
