Most underused names?

[mondayyyy]

Can you please share with me some absolutely regular and normal names that are absolutely underused?

My picks are Miranda, Helen, Clive and Mitchell. What are yours?

Some are merely briefly fashionable names, others are classics that had a peak and are in a dip.

Mary, Ann, Jane, Jill

Andrea, Patricia, Jennifer, Rosemary, Victoria

Jerry
Paul
Peter
Simon

Natalie
Laura
Beth
Alexis

Alison,Fiona,Susan,Gillian,Pamela,Linda,Lorraine,Valerie,Caroline,Gail

David,Alan,Michael,Gordon,Scott,Colin,Paul,Raymond,Keith,Neil

If you like Clive and Cliff, how about Clint? Too nuts?

Aren't these mostly just names that were en vogue during a certain period which you'd be mad to use now/are dated e.g. Gary, no offence to any Gary's (my DH ) but it's just an incredibly ugly name.

They are, but isn't that how names work? By the time our children are having children, an the Granny names that are in fashion now will have moved on and they'll be considering their own grandparents names.

So today's baby boomers like Gary, Geoff, Clive, Pam, Sue and Jackie may be our grandchildren.

I find it quite interesting the trends in the more biblical names, more for boys than girls I guess as girls have a wider variety. Why are James & Daniel still popular but Matt & Simon out?

I know a toddler Stephen. He's not called that though, his hair stood on end as a baby and he got called Spark and it stuck

Love this. I'm also proud to see my name on a few PPs' lists. I still have some smidgeon of cool, then!

Pamela, Valerie, Melissa, Kimberley, Jessamine, Shaunagh, Virginia

Mark (mostly in their 50s now, I think. Still a good name), Ian, Stuart, Cameron, Harold.

Sandra
Cheryl
Melissa

(whereas Miranda is quite current)

OP's buggered off though. I was interested to know why they were asking, what they wanted to do with the answers and what their thoughts were.

Joel and Jasmine.

I think Baby Boomer names are fairly unusual these days:

Angela, Pamela, Valerie, Margaret, Deborah,

Keith, Ian, Simon, Peter, Malcolm, Robert, Kevin,
