What names do you think will never be revived?

[Soubriquet]

I don’t think I’ll ever hear of a baby Gary.

I know two adult Gary’s and both are in their 50’s now

Albert has made a comeback 😀

When will Jane come back?

I’m here! 😉

Jane is a lovely name. I would have it on my list for a girl but it doesn’t go with our surname

Fanny!!
Bob

Doris
Gladys
Adolf
Nigel

I know of a 25 year old Gary but no one younger. Clive, Colin, Barry, Alan etc.

Late to this thread but my grandmother (Victorian) was called Isolene. Never heard it since

Roy

I'm amazed to trawl through 23 pages of names and not find mine. It was old fashioned in the 70s and never come back into vogue....although some celebs named their kid it recently. Poor child

I can’t imagine anyone using the name Ian, Wayne, Alan or Brian. However, that being said, 10 years ago Mabel wouldn’t have been popular and now it is so perhaps it will do a full circle!

My grandparents were Doris, Valentine, Winifred and Stanley.
Stanley is back so bring on the Doris’!!

Hipsters love rescuing out of date names -I reckon most names will come around again after sufficient time

Evelyn for a boy. Evelyn Waugh (a guy) wrote Brideshead Revisited. In the UK you can’t name your boy Sasha as it’s considered a girl’s name when actually it’s Russian for Alexander.

Fanny.
You'd hope it doesn't get revived.

@debsam

I can't see my late grandmother's name coming back into fashion ever again - Cissie!

Was this derived from Cecilla?

Hitler, Boris, Donald - say no more!

@Nocaloriesinchocolate Isolene sounds like a cleaning product

Bloody hell, I think my entire family have been named on this thread.
Well done, Mum

Baby Gary
Baby colin...i mean who goes oooh little baby colin

Chantelle
Janine
Jordan
Rachel, Racheal

The ones soon to go out of fashion

Anything double barreled
Old lady names
Any names spelt exotically e.g. jaymz for James.
Named after a place: Brooklyn, Preston etc.

@JesusInTheCabbageVan

I'd love to know if anyone is still naming DDs Daenerys after the way that went down.

I bloody would if I could get away with it

Bertha, Fanny,

Ethel

Most of these names I think willl come back sooner or later. The only ones I think won't are Adolf and the ones with sexual connotations (Dick, Fanny, Gaylord).

Some of the names already mentioned, I have taught in recent years - Albert, Dennis, Timothy have all been in my classes.

The 1950s/60s/70s names just need more time. I remember when the old fashioned chic names just starting to come into fashion, and I couldn't believe that anyone would want to call their child Arthur. But now most of my classes have one or more children with that type of name - Wilf(red), Albert, Amos, Maude...

And what's awful to us, sound different to a different generation. My daughter always used to moan at her bog standard name and when she was younger, used to say that she loved the name Margaret. She used to ask me why I didn't give her a glamorous name like Margaret? Thankfully she has grown up now.

My nephew isn't quite one yet, his middle name is Gary
