What do you reckon? I'm not knocking these names by the way!

Lilith
Audrey
St. John

Who mentioned ‘Dorcas’
Horrible needs to be banned from everyone’s memory forever... it makes me think of sewing needles/pins I think a brand name at some ‘point’ in time

I was going to say Keith, several have beaten me to it!
Also Trevor, Kevin, Brian, Margaret, Sheila and Jean.
Well, people will name their children other names and then use some of these more dated choices as middle names because they will be names of grandparents. And then they will start coming back into fashion!
However I teach a boy called Wayne and in recent years have taught 2 girls named Maud...

Herbert, nn bertie, quite a few about.

It must depend on where you live.

@SunshineDays2019 there's a Percy in Harry Potter which probably had some sort of influence on baby names of today.

Gloria
Patricia
Diane

Carol
Pauline
Dinah

Ian
Kenneth

Worst name ever, absolutely mentioned in PP’s.....”Nigel” it is so so horrible

I like Daphne, Gillian, Agatha and Margaret

Norman, Nigel, Wayne, Lesley, Roger, Geoffrey.

Beryl
Fanny
Prudence
Eric
Edwin

I know of a primary school Malcolm and a preschool aged Dean and Dorothy

The old ‘virtue’ names, like Patience, Hope, Faith and Prudence seem to be dead and buried.

Personally, I quite like them, but it’s always struck me as odd that there aren’t any such male names.

I know a couple of Alan's under 5, and Vera made a comeback a couple of years ago - Veronica is a pretty cool name really. I know a little Colin and a little Ralph and a baby Mark also.

Sharon is my contribution. No offence to Sharon's because I know some lovely ones.

I have a teenage Edith!
Never gets a seaside keyring, mug etc

Dympna, Philomena, Nigella

I know a 12 year old Kenneth. Named after a grandparent.

Edith is beautiful

Mine, my husband's and my 4 siblings names all appear on this thread. All 70s and 80s born.

Love some of these. I would v much like 70s names to come back.

Basil, Rosemary and Margaret were on my list but DH (who would himself suit the Basil) wasn’t keen.

DS has a Nigel in his class and there's a Deirdre in the year below!

Love Maud and Mavis
💜💜

Adolf?

Male virtue names seem to be more prevalent outside white UK groups. Maybe Felix, Earnest (although that's not really used now), Augustus (again, never hear it now), Victor (more European really)?
