How quickly do names come back into fashion?

[TicketToRideFan]

All the Archie, Albie, Alfie type names are massively popular right now, but for me they belong to men aged between 60 and 80.

Looking around my relatives in this age group, the next big names will be Stephen, David, Frank, Brian, Liam, James, Thomas, Allan, John or Peter.

Girls names in our family of a similar vintage include Elaine, Linda, Lynn, Claire, Julie, Jackie, Margaret, Anne, Alison, Maureen and Wendy.

it’s hard to imagine most of these making a come back soon, though of course some have never fully gone.

My money is on John, Peter, Alison and Claire coming back first.

I don't think there are many people alive with that first set of names that aren't young.

60 year olds are Susan, Karen, Claire, Mark, Andrew, Steven etc.

The next lot of names will be the ones who are 80+ now, like Eileen, Brenda, Colin, Derek.
