Which 'old fashioned' names do you wish would make a comeback?

[PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog]

My last baby is 3 mo, so not something I need to worry about, but was just thinking about this:

• Lettice
• Anne
• Georgiana
• Clemency
• Ambrosine
• Adelaine
• Otteline
• Margaret
• Barbara
• Julia
• Shirley
• June
• Patricia
• Pandora
• Diana
• Kenneth
• Harold

Wh would you like to add?

I love Georgiana, Clemency and Harold.

My all-time favourite boys' name is Godfrey, but you'd have to be a mediaeval knight to pull it off.

Oh Godfrey is a good'un as is Lionel

Wendy

Very pretty

I love Mabel. Also Caspian but I’d never be brave enough to use either

@Mushroo I have a niece called Mabel!

I absolutely love Georgiana and may use it if DC4 is a girl.

Judy (Judith)

I came to say Patricia and see it's already on your list!! I don't know why it hasn't come back with the old-fashioned trend? It has some cute shortenings (Pattie, Trish, a cooler Pat for a teen) and fits the ending in an -a theme that loads of people like. I have all boys but Patricia would have definitely been on my list if I had had a girl.

Samantha and Maxine

Albertine

Veronica
Belinda

Dorothy

Aethelflaed

Cyril
Percival
Geoffrey
Walter (although I think that one is increasingly popular)
Ivan
Cedric
Oswald
Aethelwulf
Justin

Everard
Ooh that's a bit Larry Grayson though ( no younger person now would know who he was )

Quite like "Larry" though

Araminta
My all time favourite name

FanOnHigh do you think its current popularity in US could be because the main character in "The Handmaid's Tale" is called June?

I love both of these

I like Joy for a girl and Edith

My son isnt called Larry but we call him it because he's 'as happy as...'

Karen

I think Linda, Lindsay, Carol and Karen are all really pretty...but I don't think the world is ready for them to make a come-back yet

Clemency is a lovely name.

Whilst not keen on Joan, I do think Joanie is a pretty name. I also like Elaine and Stanley.

Henrietta
