What names can you foresee making a come back?

[aprilfools19]

My predictions are

Anne
Possibly Claire/Clare
Vera. It has the same vibes as Isla, Eva, Ava etc to me.
Heather
Rita
Caroline. Can’t see carol coming back but can see Caroline being a possibility

I think girls' names without the 'a' ( especially A-a arrangement) or the 'y' sound at the end. ( Current favourites have the hard consonants but the 'y' or 'a' is making feminine: Ivy, Ada).
More consonants will be fashionable, I think, with a link to a 60s film star.
Marilyn
Natalie
Jocelyn
Vivienne
Simone
( And Susan, Jacqueline and Julie, as my choice in first post, above).

Honestly I can't ever see the following names ever coming back: Janet, Julie, Carol, Agatha, Phyllis, Beryl, Trevor, Phillip, Ronald, Donald.

From the 60s maybe Terrence, Stephen, Paul and Stephanie might re-emerge. I don't care for any of them myself though.

Of the granny names (and one of my Granny's name) Florence. Love it. And my Grandpa's middle name Gilbert or Gill.

I love the name Nicholas and wish I'd used it.

Also like Peter and Jonathan.

My DC have very boring Tom/Ben type names. Wish I'd been more adventurous

Just met a baby Phyllis!!

Not sure if Pauline will make a comeback too?

Definitely less frilly girly names in future. I think names like Diana (which I hate 🤣) will make a comeback. I think they've done a study on how names go in cycles. Edith, Mabel, Elsie etc are all popular(Ish) now. So I guess in 20 years it'll be Debbie, Susan, Philip and Colin

I know a teen who goes by Julie - she has a longer version of the name, but much prefers Julie. It has a French chic that we can’t see because it was commonly used in the UK in the ‘60s.

Oh Paul! Yes definitely! I can see this coming back.

Pauline though? Less sure!

@namechangedschoolquery ah I bet your kids love their names anyway? I think Ben/Tom type names are lovely classics. So is Nicholas but I prefer Ben and Tom!
