'Old-fashioned' names that might NOT make a come-back?

[PrincessFiorimonde]

I was thinking about names that might have been popular about 100 years ago or more, and were then considered old-fashioned 30, 40 or even 50 years ago - but are now becoming more popular again. For example, Dorothy and Archie are names that are probably used more now than they were for babies born in the 60s or 70s.

So I wondered if there are names that have not made a come-back, and are not likely to?

For example, does anyone think these names are used much for babies born recently:
Eustace
Eunice
Jean (for a girl; not the French boys' name)
Joan (for a girl; not the Catalan boys' name)

I'm not trying to start a 'these are horrible names' thread. I'm just wondering which 'old-fashioned'-type names haven't really been revived. (Or perhaps I should say: haven't really been revived yet!)

"I can't imagine Clement, Leonard, Clifford, Horace, Herbert, Maurice, Rodney, Willie, Willis, Wilfred or Ody making a comeback.

For the girls, Rene, Margot, Marilyn, Gertrude, Eileen & Irene."

Bilblio! We have a teenaged Firstname Irene Surname in our family (named after her Great Grandma) and m friend's 5 year old is an Imogen Irene, named after her Grandmother.

Personally I love the name Irene.

Marjorie? It's so much like margarine.

Clover- because of the brand.

I liked old man names. Considered Stanley and Lewis for ds. Levi is an old family name that's been dropped since the 1940's. James is still going.

Gertrude has been mentioned, I know one though. It may never be top 10 but it's still around. I also know some of the others mentioned like Hillary, Victoria, Julie, Christine, Josephine and Kathleen

[sausageandorangepickle]

Jessica Ennis has just called her baby Reggie, and Kate Silverton (newsreader) has called her son Wilbur, so more may be creeping in... I know pre-schoolers called Ronnie, Ivan, Derek and Eric (Derek and Eric are both from Eastern European families)and a teenage Archie

My mum described Serena as "an old lady name which doesn't need to be revived".

She has never met a Serena, ever.

Wilbur is awful.
