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

I know a Sheila who is 10.

Agree with the rest though.

Joyce. Elaine. Andrea.

I met a baby Alan recently. A funny little name for an adorable baby, but his brothers both have similar names so I guess it’s just the era of names the parents like!

Bruce.

Not a bad earworm for the rest of the afternoon!

Mildred, Deirdre, Ena, Ethel, Euphemia, Beryl

Darren, Timothy, Lionel, Denis, Martin, Gordon

Maud, hopefully. And I wish all old lady names would.

I know about 4 under 15!

I know! Apparently singing Happy Birthday helps get rid of ear worms.

These are the names of my neighbours next door and opposite!

Brian

I know “old” names sometimes make a surprising comeback, but I suspect most of the above are gone for good. All, strangely enough, are or were names of members of my family.

I've heard of babies called Maud.

these and also Steve

They will all come around again and we’ll all be pushing our grandchildren and great grandchildren Deirdre and Malcolm in their prams.

Kevin, Terry, Barry

Karen, Sharon, Sonia, Linda

Names come round again. When I first started teaching, I could never have imagined I'd end up with a class with children called Stanley, Wilfred, Arthur, Elsie, Nancy and Violet.
To me they were old people's names, yet here we are!

Norbert

They won't be 'old lady' names any more once all the old ladies with those names have died, will they?

I like Susan and it’s shortening.

I know a 4 year old Barry. His parents are from Vietnam. And i know a 10 year old Gary.

Sally and Martin
