I like 'dated' names

[VAVAV00M]

I love the name Karen with middle name Claire.

Should I just time travel back 40 years or am I safe to name

Whatever you choose someone somewhere will hate it, someone else will love it.

We had dc4 on Tuesday and am at how fucking rude some people can be re names.

I have chosen a name I love so fuck everyone else.

Congratulations Snob. Someone asked me what dd3 name was once and then said 'what on earth did you call her that for?!'
I just said, 'Um, well we both liked it!' Couldn't really think of another answer!!

some of the old names were quite popular when i had the DDs makes me feel ancient, Fionas claires sarah was normal names when dd1 was born she isn't 1 of them but her name is here too, funny how names come and go

congrats on your new baby enorma

My Eldest DDs name always appears on these lists.

I bet Karen will be more popular though because of Outnumbered.

What about Colin

I know a 19/20 yr old Colin

I like Jeannie

Has your eldests name appeared yet, usual ?

One of my nephews is Stuart. The only one of his age we know. His older brother mentioned it and his mum and dad really couldn't find a reason not to have it.

I like Karen but I can't say Claire is as nice.

I like classic names but names such as darren ,karen you kind of know they are going to be late 30,to late 40,s and kylies and scotts will have been born around late 80,s early 90,s i know i,m a name snob!

Congratulations EnormaSnob . You know that whatever you have chosen is the right name and in a few months time nobody will bat an eyelid or imagine them as being anything else.

Care to mention what name you chose?

I worked in a nursery end of the 80s and i couldnt move without tripping over Kylies and jasons they were everywhere

Start of the 90s I meant to add that

I'm late 40's and remember all of these names as my peers at school. Deborah, Elaine, Gwen, Fiona, Jane, Susan, Melanie, Tania, Sharon, christine, Alison, Joanne, Beverley, Anita, Julie. And for boys, Carl, John, Stephen, Gary, Ian, David, Simon, Andrew, Neil, Mark, Michael, Philip, Greg, Anthony, Neville, Darren, Colin, Keith, Peter.

Like most things, I guess there'll be a renaissance at some point

Name your child what you feel comfortable with. It's no one elses business but yours.

I want a Grace and Phoebe, If I ever have a girl.

I like Douglas, and George for a boy.

My grandfather had Redwood as a middle name.

Karen will be very trendy in 30 yrs. Go for it if you love it.

it would just seemn really weird to me to think of a lovely cute baby derek or maureen but they must have been loads in the 40,s and 50,s!

I never understood why Karen was called Karen in out numbered she was way to young to be a karen

I'm offended that you think Karens are late 30s or older!

I have a niece called karen and last time I checked she was still in primary school

On CBeebies not long ago there was a birthday card for a 1yr old called Bernard! I was wetting myself!

I'm Susan and I'm expecting a revival any time now!

Bernard is a popular Polish name, I believe.

Thank you for the congratulations.

He is called jasper and he's amazing
