Names that are never coming back

[Beancounter1]

Names that been in common use since about 1850 (so nothing from ancient history like Ethelberger or whatever), that are well and truly dead, as in no babies are likely to be called this now.

How about:
Mildred ?
Edna ?
Mortimer ?

Can you think of any others?

Im not sure about Edna but I think both Mildred and Mortimer are due for a revival.

Gary isn't doing too well though.

Vera hasnt come back

Beryl

Phillip

I could see those old names coming back. Brian? Not so much.

Hogarth

My elderly aunts were called Violet, Mona and Gertrude.

I'm not sure any of their names will, be back in a hurry

Mavis

There was also a violet in her pre school.

Derek
Desmond
Maurice
Gladys
Phyllis
Irene

@MintJulia I know a few primary school aged Violets.

I can't see names like Gary, Craig, Denise, Sharon making a come back but I'm sure people said the same 20-30 years ago about names like Albert, Alfred, Maud etc.

Adolf!

I don’t think there’s been a single baby named Gary since 1992 or something. So it’s effectively been out of favour for 30 years. I think Barry will die a death too.

Sheila!
Do know a few Violets in dds school

Oh actually that Gary thing is a myth, but it’s definitely fallen well down the names list.

I doubt Kevin will come back but you never know.

Fanny

My sons friend is Brian. He's 10.

Bathilda
Gertrude
Fanny

Keith!

Karen for the forseeable future

Someone on my FB ha a nephew called Brian, a similar age to @Whirlywooo’s. I wonder if it’s the same one??

I actually love Mildred!
