I don't think I've ever seen Nicola mentioned. There were lots in my generation. Maybe it will be back in 5-10 years when we start to become grannies.

Ah, I thought you meant popular names (IRL) that just don't seem to be popular on mumsnet...

Kevin, Marvin, Dwayne, Sharon etc...?

(although, future generatons might come to see tham as "vintage" and unusual)

I know a couple of little ones called Anna and Sarah.

I know a Nicola who is 14 but it did surprise me when i heard her name.

I haven't heard of a baby Carl, Craig, Julie or Joanne yet.
