I'm thinking names such as:
David, Peter, Christopher, Ian, Kenneth
Shirley, Barbara, Pamela, Janet, Susan

I guess they're names from the 1940s/50s

I heard a Gordon the other day, little boy aged 4 (ish), in supermarket. I would imagine he was named after a grandfather ?
Think it will be names from 1930's / 40's next. I can remember sniggering at (old Lady names) like Edith, Florence, Agnes etc as a younger person. My generations Sharon's , Tracey's and Joanne's will have to wait another 20 years + before our revival.

I’ve got my bet on Diana and Juliet being the next Amelie/Ella/Millie

Juliet is nice and don't mind Diana

I have some older female relatives called Pauline and Barbara. Both utterly hate their names - I can see Barbara being revived but not Pauline.
