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?

When I was pregnant with my 2nd I really wanted Ernie (Ernest) for a boy but I already had a Bert so it was a no!!
I had a girl so it wasn't an issue in the end.

Two that were top names for centuries - John and Mary.
And Anne
Andrew (I’m biased here)

I love Dora and Edith and Edmund.

PP please do not call your daughter Clothilde, and I can’t imagine looking at a baby and calling it Nigel

Our Jack Russell’s called Gladys.

My daughter had a guinea-pig called Bert , he was the loveliest soppiest (thickest) animal on the face of the earth , love Bert as a name

I heard a parent call "Ralph" to their little boy , love that name too ( though I think more Lord of the Flies than Lauren)

Cedric
Graham
Horace
Myrtle
Cyril
Lysander

I swear some of you lot are very high or very bored! 😂

either that or you’re seeing how gullible we are to see if we all agree the weirdest names you can think of are “gawjus” 🤢

Just high on life Tillow. High on life.

Fanny 😂

Maud, Keith, Kenneth, Bertram, Vera, Margaret (Maggie) and Doreen (Dot, like my Nanna and Aunt).

ds1’s and dd1’s first names, and dd2’s first and middle names have both been mentioned. Ds2 is Leonard.

I really like the name Pamela, I think it’s both pretty and sophisticated, with even the shortening not being twee.

Julia, Diana...lovely names

Gaylord

Gloria has been mentioned, my granddaughter is Gloria, she is 31/2 and it suits her....

Wow - Gloria is a fabulous name, you just never hear of little girls with that name but it absolutely deserves a comeback.
Not sure it was ever that popular in the UK though?

Ours neighbours granddaughter recently visited, she was Wilma, age 5.

Yes a I knew a few - would be in their 80s now? Suspect they were named after Hollywood startlets in the 1930s?

Agree fabulous name
