Is it due a revival? Or best be left in the past?

Do you realise it's a generic name for a chap, bloke etc. Eg, I told my Nigel to sling his hook....

Best left in the past but I've worked with two Nigel's and they were the nicest colleagues so I have a soft spot for it.

No, like Roger, Brian, Earnest and Deryck some names are best left!

No.

No, won't be good to revive, and your child won't thank you for it when he's a teenager!

Don't like it tbh

marriednotdead · 27/03/2021 16:24

It is still a family name in the traveller community near us.

God no leave it in the past.
