Names that WON'T make a comeback

[Greenandcabbagelooking]

Some older names I don't think will be returning:

Ethel
Enid
Sheila
Carol

Archibald
Gary
Brian
Reginald

Any to add?

Norman
Kevin
Gary
Sharon
Deborah
Raymond
Donna
Tina

Bertha
Timothy
Doris
Clive

I think a name like David that's a saint's name and has stood the test of time will come back round again.

Hopefully most of my family names won’t be coming back anytime soon....
Sheila
Susan
Joan
Alan
Keith
Ian
Colin
Bob (unless you are a dog)
Kenny
Philip
Maureen

🤣🤣🤣

I have an Ian! Singlehandedly bringing it back 😂

Yes I don’t think Karen will ever recover. I’m not sure I can see Brenda coming back either. Barry? I mean it’s a perfectly acceptable name for a used car salesman, but just feels weird on a newborn 😂

Names I wish would make a come back
Veronica
Belinda
Kerry
Geraldine

I don't think Susan will return. Or Eileen.

I actually love the names Carol and Linda!

Rita
Mavis
Agree on Karen
Linda
Doreen
Yvonne
Yvette
Gaynor
Babette
Gladys

Gary
Darren
Lee
Darryl

I actually think a few of the names mentioned on here, especially by op, aren’t too dreadful and are still being used.

Baling

Autocorrect fail... Balonz

Keith and Barry I hope!

Fanny. I don't think that'll be back anytime soon.

What do people think of the name Elliott? Has that come back?

I considered Claire/Clare for my younger daughter. She's nearly 12. I actually think it's a pretty, classy name.

Gertrude

I know a primary school aged Reginald, he goes by Reggie but has the full name on his BC.

I also suspect Karen won't make a comeback due to the meme.

You might get some little Enids (pronounced correctly, of course) in Wales given it's a Welsh name.

I have to confess I quite like Kathleen.

I just can’t imagine leaving over a crib and cooing at .....

Malcolm
Derek
Jeffrey
Ian

Yeah not Karen

Valerie
Leonard
Christine
Derek
Dennis
Maud
Rita
Roland

Fanny.

I think we all know why that is.

I disagree with all of them. Chances are your Great granchildren will have many of those names in school with them. When I was having kids, in 80's and 90's I'd have written names like many of the names used today as never going to be used again.

I know a newborn Elliot.

And yesterday I heard someone yell at a toddler Keef, so I suppose that could be Keith?

Did Louise ever go away?

I know Louises of all ages.

Donna
Hilda
Kylie
Keith
Gary
Scott

Oh and Lesley/ Leslie
