Here's a vintage name that I haven't seen used yet.

[Peering2021]

Thelma.

What do you think? It's definitely original these days. Not sure it's shaken off the cobwebs yet though!

It's another that's very pretty if taken at face value, yet I agree it's not yet shaken off the cobwebs.
But I've noticed how quickly some old fashioned names have come back into fashion that wouldn't have been considered 5 years ago.

I know a 38 year old Thelma.

I think it needs to go back in the closet.

Always connected to Louise now.

Or scooby

Or scooby

Or was that Velma?

maybe not yet then! I had a great aunty Thelma, maybe that's why I quite like it.

I see your Thelma and I raise you Beryl. Doubt that will ever make a comeback either!

It hasn't been revived for a very good reason. It's horrible!

I love Thelma.

What about Gladys, that's not made a comeback yet has it?

Doubt we will ever see another Doris or Doreen

The Likely Lads series killed that name off for me.

Cynthia?

I can see Doris having a revival

I also like Gloria. There was a Gloria on Dickinson's Real Deal earlier I think that's swaying me.

For the record I am in m 40s and have two massive teens not planning another but am just lately broody. I hope it's OK to post here.

Doris is a sweet name when you just hear it, as opposed to thinking of old ladies.

Nooo - awful. I do quite like Thora though, and Vera.

I like Beryl more than Thelma

Selma is usable though, imo

Just watching Bake Off repeats- there's always Prudence or Prunella!

Bertha probably also not coming back (though properly pronounced it's a great name).

I love Bertha! Was trying to persuade my cousin to name her daughter Bertha, she was having none of it! Martha's extremely popular so why not Bertha?

Oh Thelma is going to be a while yet before reappearing - if ever!

Objectively a nice name I think. I love Thora too.

I used to know a very lovely elderly Prunella!
