What names do you think will die completely?

[Soubriquet]

I think Gary.

Ive only met one and he’s in his 50’s now. Never met a baby Gary

It really is! It isn’t a name I love but it seems it has its fans!

I teach Mary. She’s 6.

Oh yes, Hazel and especially Heather used to be ten a penny.

Heavens above!

I know siblings who are Bridget and Brian. They must be 8-10 years now

I know a couple of little olives- beautiful name

I teach a Raymond too. He’s 5.

Lisa is a pretty name so I can’t see it ever dying out (especially with Lisa of BlackPink being so popular). It’ll come and go but won’t go the way of Bertha.

Frank is really, really popular now.

Had both in my class back in the 60s/70s.

I know a baby Mary

There was a baby Mark in the same ward as me when I gave birth this year.

Big revival for Percy in recent years! (look it up on darkgreener)

A friend had a baby Robert at the same time as I had my youngest this year, I thought that was a bit unusual these days. Goes by Bertie.

Are you Scottish? Asking because of the second i.

Olive is getting popular again - it's similar in sound to the ubiquitous Olivia, but not overdone.

I think Irene is due a comeback, it's a lovely name and has that vintage feel that is so popular these days.

I think Isis will be rare for a while yet...

Gillian and Jill have disappeared - I think Jill might come back.

Joan is now cool. And Joanie.

Robert is such a great name! Shame about Bertie, which is a bit more common like Alfie and Albie etc.

Percy

Wow!

I’m actually not, although I do have Scottish family, I just much preferred that spelling. My eldest has a traditionally Scottish name as well.

My friend has just called her son Percy !

I thought the same really, makes it rather more ubiquitous.

My parents' Labrador is called Percy 😁

It’s funny how names can grow on you. I think it was either Drew Barrymore or Isla Fisher who first called their baby Olive that I was literally opened mouthed going Olive! Olive! Because I only knew Olive from On The Buses and absolutely no one was calling their kid Olive (in my age group). Obviously over the years and different countries Olive doesn’t mean that Olive to people. It’s kind of grown on me now because of it’s popularity and it’s been a long time since OTB. Still hard to shift the association though 😁
