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 six year old Amanda, but she's Spanish.

Esther hasn’t really gone away here in NI. There aren’t loads, but you still hear it. Probably because it’s a biblical name and you know how much we luuve our religion in NI😅 My 16 yo nephew’s girlfriend is Esther. Lovely name.

Has Mabel not made a comeback @XWKD ?

Mabel definitely not going anywhere. We have 13 of those names on roll at work, from baby age up to school age, including at least 3 called Mabel.

From this list I mean:

Phyllis, Agnes, Carmel, Esther, Doris, Beryl, Enid, Bertha, Doris, Mabel, Wayne, Sharon, Kenneth, Darren, Darryl, Jayden (and variants), and names like Braxton, Pa(i)ge and Harper. Possibly Lilly and Jack as the the trend is/was too great. Also girls called Charlie (who aren't Charlotte).
I think Vera and Stanley will make a comeback, and maybe Hilda.

@borderlaise, Lilly was only briefly popular, but Lily is #4. Jack is still in the top #20.

Most of the names you listed are really nice, but I wouldn't use Stanley and Hilda for siblings.

i have a mary in the family (2 years old) and I love the names Margaret and Marion, hope they make a comeback!

Yeah, right!! 😂

My parents called me Ann because they thought that couldn’t be messed with.
Most people have decided to call me Annie!

One of my DS (in his 20s) has one of these names. He loves it as he says it makes him unique, and his mates gently tease him about his “middle aged man” name.

Met a four-year-old Veronica (Ronnie) today. Not a name I would have expected to hear in this age group, but it is perfect for her and unlikely to be another one in her class at school.

Muriel
Brenda
Doreen

Saw a secondary school aged lad today called Adrian. Not a name you hear much anymore.

I like Phyllis, Agnes and Enid from your list. I know a twelve year old Mabel.

Norman
Gay

Oh please not Hilda for a comeback.

If there was ever an ugly name it’s Hilda. The only thing worse is the German “Brunhilde.”

Terry, Wayne, Adrian, Darren, Nigel, *Trevor
Phylis, Linda, Pauline, Doreen, Brenda, *Gladys

*my budgies names

There was a thread about Linda not long ago. Everyone seemed quite positive.

Also Leslie / Lesley , and Deborah

Lorraine, Vanessa, Melissa

Samantha is overdue a revival

I actually think Christopher is too.

I would also have suggested Daphne- but I have just met an 8-year-old Daphne.

It’s such a pretty and fragrant flower

There’s loads of Alexas 🤣
