Old fashioned names you isn’t think will make a come back?

[Hippopotas]

Inspired by my watching of White Christmas earlier I’m interested in names people don’t think will make a come back.

My list so far
Edna
Bob
Doris
Vera
Algernon

Darren
Kevin
Wayne
Ronald
Donald
Steve

Lorraine
Tracey
Sharon

Margaret Will come back! as will most names Wilfred is lovely imo. I think it depends on personal taste most on this list I love but a appreciate old traditional names over the more modern

Sharon, Tracey, Kevin... not so much love there I'm afraid

Nicole Kidman has a Faith Margaret - her younger daughter.

I have to admit that I quite like Evie and Vera.

Wendy
Gladys
Hilda
Carol

Derek
Keith
Alan
Cyril

Gary
Nigel
Lindsay
Neil
Terence
Raymond

Jean
Joan
Peggy
Doris
Carol
Kinda
Tracey
Janet

Conventicle well that is surprising, from my experience I though Janet had stopped being popular in the UK by the early 60s, but you knew so many born well after that. i found this list of 1970s British baby names online:

www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2011/06/1974-to-2009.html

which doesn't list Janet, and has Sarah, Claire etc. in the top places, as I would have thought. I was surprised to find Sandra, Mary and Patricia still in there though, although further down the list.

I wonder if the difference could be regional? - I'm from the English Midlands?

I wanted to call dd2 Vera as It was my granny' s name and I agree with a pp it could easily come back if Edith etc have. He dislikes it so it is her middle name.

Vera sounds pretty and will definitely come back!

Beryl
Simon
Lisa
Nicola
Margaret
Cecilia
Sandra
Louise
Annie
Jane
Janet

Lydia
Michael
Paul
Dominic
Georgina
Helen
Ian
Lee
Michelle
Peter
Tim

Not sure what you're on about ghosts as Lydia, Annie and Georgina are currently fairly popular names I have often seen suggested on here. They're all lovely too. And many of the others you mention (Louise, Lisa, Peter) although not so popular at the moment are actually nice names I could easily see coming back.

I agree about Beryl though.

Oh I love Janet, Joan, Peter, Dominic, Annie, clare

Michael is still a top 100 boys name.

I love the names Alan, Jimmy and Cecil

Can't move round here for Wilfreds, Alberts, Ediths etc. I know a Vera, a Vincent, a Stanley, a couple of Erics and Earnie's, a Violet, a Dorothy, a Geoffrey, 2 Walters, a Temperance, a Wallis, a Laurence...

I'm sure there's loads more I'll remember in a minute.

And Peter, there's at least 2 baby Peters about.

Lesley and Mona- both going I reckon

I think Horace is horrid. Horatio has made a come back so maybe Horace will

Myra
Beryl
Julie

Jeremy
Alan
Malcolm

We’ve considered Edna for our baby due in Jan as it was DH’s grandmother but I’m not convinced. Joan is his other grandmother who is still living but I’m not keen on that at all. In general though I think most of those names are becoming more and more popular - I even know of an Ada. I think names associated with the generation after that are a way off coming back though like Brenda, Jean, Sheila, Eileen, Nigel, Keith, Brian, Malcolm. The baby boomers.

Notevenmyrealname Most of those names I wouldn’t consider to be baby boomers’ names, they are the parents of baby boomers. My mum was Brenda, my MIL Jean, and they were both born in 1926, and all the other names you mentioned belonged to fiends/relations around the same age.

@Rustybear My Uncle and Aunt are in their 60s and are called Brian and Eileen, I worked with a Sheila who is in her late fifties now as is my childhood dance teacher Miss Sheila, the Nigel I know is in his early sixties, my friend from school’s Mum was a Brenda and I’m 34, my ex’s Dad is a Keith and is in his early sixties.

I also know Nigels and Keiths in their 40s.

These names were clearly around for a few generations but pretty popular with boomers.
