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

@183fredamarleymum

Freda my name.

Oh I can see the hipsters going for Freda in a big way. In the same vein as Greta and Margot.

@ReggieKrait

Gary, Brian, Kevin, Shane, Ian, Derek, Kenneth, Hector

I think Hector is making a comeback, I know a couple children called it.

Connie
Bernard
Quentin
Lola
Roland
Derek
Cliff
Marjorie

I was going to say Brian but it appears I'm wrong on that one.

@HerBigChance

I heard a toddler being called Peter when I was out the other day. Nice name, but very rare on a young child I'd imagine.

If DD2 had been a boy, she’d have been Peter. I think it’s due a revival.

I wanted a Narnia name. Had to compromise and name her after one of the actresses instead

Lola and Connie are both names I know. Both 7/8 year old girls

I know a younger Lola too

I know a couple of young teenage Hectors, also a Connie and a Quentin.
I don’t think Myra, Asaph, Enid or Edna will return.

There’s a boy in our village called Gary. He’s about 8 I reckon.

Nearly everything will come back around in the end. Agree that it’s hard to imagine with some like Sharon.. I watched the original Disney ‘parent trap’ recently with the DC and they thought it was hilarious one of the girls was called Sharon.

Gosh yeah, Marjorie. Cannot for the life of me imagine that one coming around again.

I know two Freida’s.. is Freda pronounced the same?

Roy or Royston
Betty
Clifford
Sandra
Leanne

I get to see names of newborn babies at work. I was dealing with a Humphrey and an Alvin today .

PPs are right. Names seem to come back around. 10 or 20 years ago I wouldn’t have believed we’d start seeing baby Bert or Mavis again. Yet here we are.

Gladys. Barry.

Gillian. None in 2019

Larry. Yuck.

@Soubriquet

Adolf I get but why is Myra so unusable

People use Joseph and Rose. What is so different about Myra that it can’t be used?

Myra Hindley, Britain’s most hated woman?

@Lesserspottedmama

Gosh yeah, Marjorie. Cannot for the life of me imagine that one coming around again.

I can! I think its pretty

Myra is so unusable because Hindley is the only well known one. In contrast Rose West is only one of many well known Roses. Same with Ian. Though it might be recoverable in a few more decades.

Eunice. Doris. Horace. Nigel.

Edna. My granny was Edna and that one doesn’t seem to have had a resurgence. Unlike my Nana, who was Ivy.

I wonder if names of my mums generation like Patricia, Linda, Janet, Susan etc will come back? My mum is 71 now so I suppose sort of old. Ish.

I know a baby Walter. I quite like it

I think it depends where you live. Round here Donald, Colin, Norman are still popular. I know young children with all of these names.

@Soubriquet

Adolf I get but why is Myra so unusable

Myra will stay unusable until Myra Hindley is forgotten.

Samantha, iv seen one sammy, but no Samantha's for a long time.

Definitely never say never. Baby names I’ve heard recently - Percy, Maude, Mabel - I would never have imagined 20 years ago would have been revived.

I predict baby boomer names will be back in fashion soon enough. We’ll have little Carol/Anne/Susan/Gillians around.

I know a little Kevin .
