In what year will there be pictures of little Darren and Joanne skipping through fields in a Sunday supplement article?

Don't they go in like sixty year cycles or something? When Darren's and Joanne's become grandparents or great grandparents.

To be honest, if you take away all the negative connotations, Darren has a nice sound to it, as does Keith.

Can't see wayne making a comeback.

I know some lovely Joanne’s but I really don’t like the name!

I reckon 2080ish onwards

HotChocolateLover · 29/08/2019 21:31

One day there are going to be Grandad Tyler’s and Grandma Kimberley’s. Just saying 😂

CloudsCanLookLikeSheep · 29/08/2019 21:37

Love Keith. Well due a comeback!

I read today that Geoffrey and Elaine are dying out as names. I can never see them making a come back. Malcolm is another one.

dementedma · 29/08/2019 21:41

My niece is an 18 year old Joanna, but tends to be known as Jo-Jo.

What about a comeback for Bernard?

raeray · 29/08/2019 21:52

I know an Elaine who's under 7 and a Brenda who's about 12! Plus a Jeff who's 8 Grin

dayswithaY · 29/08/2019 22:04

Do you live in the 80s? 😂

tinatsarina · 29/08/2019 22:07

Deidre? Don't think that will have a come back

TSSDNCOP · 29/08/2019 22:17

I love Joanne, but all the ones I know want to be Jo. Sad

Darren was my nemesis in Y7 and 8. I hope he never makes a comeback. So, I raise you Roger.

SunshineDays2019 · 29/08/2019 22:18

Will there ever again be a baby Barbara or baby Doreen? Shock

WorraLiberty · 29/08/2019 22:18

Jojane you must've crapped yourself Grin Grin

SunshineDays2019 · 29/08/2019 22:19

Back to other 80's names, I like the sound of the names Jason and Marcus

pollyhampton · 29/08/2019 22:20

I know of a 7 year old Linda.

neverornow · 29/08/2019 22:20

Sharon and Paula have to be on the way out too...

MadisonAvenue · 29/08/2019 22:51

Sunshine I think that there was a celeb who called their baby Barbara a couple of years ago?

What were the parents of Rogers thinking?
“Aah, he’s lovely. What’s his name?
“Roger”

Climbingwindmill · 29/08/2019 22:54

I really like the sound of Sharon

GreenOrBlue · 29/08/2019 22:58

My DS (would've been 3 now), was a Darren Smile

I really like it. It reminds me of an attractive tradesman!
