Retro names that seem to be making a comeback

I know we've had lots of Elsies and Rubys and Lillys in recent years - but I'm wondering if they're going to go out of fashion soon and what will be the next phase of names.

I know a 2 year old called Judy and someone at work with has also just called their little daughter this. I also know of two babies called Marjorie.

What other retro names have you heard of recently?

On my lists were; Jean, Beryl, Mabel, Ethel. Had many disparaging comments on the baby names board but perhaps I was ahead of the curve!
