Can't think of a name for a boy, so two for girls:

Hilda

Winnifred

Janet, Sheila, Brenda, Kevin, Dick, Fanny, Hilda.

Dorcas and Beryl have both been coming bak slowly.

I vote for Sharon, Tracy, Lynne, Jackie.

I bet these will all be fashionable when I'm a grandma.

Granddaughters will be Margery Hilda and Janet Susan. :)

Don't forget, to my mum's generation calling their children Stephen, Simon, Ian, Claire, Louise, Deborah, Edwardian names that have come back in fashion like Alfred, Samuel, Oliver, Emily, Olivia, Charlotte probably sound strange at first.

I know babies called Stephen, Bruce and Winnifred.

Can't see Derek, Kenneth or Terence coming back soon.

Oh dear, I love Hilda too, was on our list for a girl but we had ds's. Can't suggest names as always feel I'm going to offend. Waiting for my other name choices to come up on the thread now...
