Nominate the names you reckon will NOT come back into fashion (Well, not anytime soon)

[Greythorne]

One for each gender, please.

Cyril

Marjorie

Cherie (as in Blair)
Gordon (as in Brown)

Here's hoping we don't hear them again anyway.

three of my potential DC2 names are on this list

I've certainly encountered babies called Hilda, Maud, Evelyn, Ivy, Iris, recently!

I think the real issue is with names that are still associated with the generation of the parents of people who are of childbearing age, or names that were considered 'modern' and trendy a generation or so ago - I'm sure they will again in the future, be regarded as lovely and vintage-y unusual, but it will take more time! So I think it will take a while for Sharon, Tracey, Trevor, Nigel, Nigel, Brian, Pamela, Karen etc to get back in vogue. But give it a few decades and no doubt they'll seem as charming and quirky as Ivy, Violet, Alfie and Bertie...

Both my mum and sisters names are coming up a bit! How many of us know of people or are parents who have named their children after grandparents? Logically it follows that if my daughter has a daughter in the future, she might want to name her after my mum, who is Susan. Look at how in vogue "old fashioned" names are today. Personally I like to select my favourite names out of the 1920s-1940s!

Apart from perhaps Adolf/ph I think we'll see these names again, or at least our childrens children will!

Ken
Sharon

LOADS of Agnes' where I am, along with Herberts (nn Herbie), Ivys and Ednas

Donna

Gary

Doris

Mavis (seems to have missed the old lady chic thing)

Nigel

Dwayne

Oh no, I love Joan (or Joanie) and Wendy!

Would love to keep this list and see which of the above our children actually do adopt as vintage chic when they have their own. What goes around, comes around...

Roy
Clifford
Cuthbert

Brenda
Edna
Hillary

Harold Percy Eric

Stacey Maureen Pauline

Etheldreda

Leofric

Ethel

Fanny

I once nearly died laughing after seeing an advert in the paper for a film Fanny By Gaslight. I was quite young at the time and that is my excuse!!

These all make excellent pets' names. I've had cats called Sharon, Janet, Neville.

Phylis, Ray, Roderick, Barry, Terry, Melvin, Morris, Dorris,
I disagree that Alexandra, Lexie is everywhere. I named my daughter Alexandra and we call her Alex. However, I dont know directly of any others and at my son's nursery they said they have not had one for years!
