Names you think will not come back into 'fashion'.

I am fascinated by the older style names that have recently come back into fashion.... Alfie, Stanley, Maisy etc. All gorgeous names. Not to mention George (almost the name of DC2).

We are thinking (just a little bit) about ttc again and I am day dreaming about names.

A DCousin recently named her little boy Phillip John on the idea that 'he will be the only one in his class'.

What nice names do you know that are unlikely to be around again any time soon?

I think some of the 70s names like Rachel, Sarah, Louise and Claire are unlikely to ever be as popular as they once were, although maybe in another generation they'll be the Edith and Mabel's.

I'd have said Kevin, Christine, Robert, dean and Deborah but I have all those in my class of 2 year olds... You just never know!

Maude is great.

Fanny, not so much. :)

Someone put forward Beryl on this topic recently. Ugh. I can never see that coming back!
