Girl names worthy of a comeback

[BatsInSpring]

Pamela
Valerie
Beverley
Gloria
Carol

Nooo not ready for those 🙈

I reckon Betty, Polly, Enid, Esther, Pearl, Maggie, Sylvie, Nora, Lilian

Jacqueline
Caroline
Clare
Samantha
Stephanie
Linda
Nigella
Naomi

I may be in the minority, but I quite like some of the virtue names as well.

Hilda - I love it !

I think it'll be names like Barbara, Margaret, Joan. Maybe Ethel, Phyllis, Anne, Gertie, Marjorie, Bertha, Sylvia.

Basically same era as the current Elsie, Ada, Vivienne, Mabel but on the less pretty side.

I wish Beryl would make a comeback but the bikes might have killed it off:(

Claire/ Clare
Margaret
Carolyn
Barbara
Louise
Bernadette
Anne-Marie
Laura
Alison
Stephanie
Helen
Mary
Sally
Michelle
Nicola

A little Gloria was baptised a few months ago in my parish, and I know a three year old Carol (granddaughter of a friend).

I love

Amy
Laura
Jenny
Mary
Helen
Ruth
Sally
June

Oh I love June so much! I would absolutely use it today.

I feel like those names are already very much back and already considered pretty again. Lovely names all.

Yes to Anne and Joan! I can definitely see those making a comeback, simple and very usable.

Joan is lovely

I love a virtue name.
Patience, Mercy, Constance, Joy... And my very favourite Blythe.

I have a huge soft spot for Barbara

Elaine
Caroline
Natasha
Anne
Claire
Sarah
Laura

Names like Susan, Sarah, Julie, Jean, Valerie, Janet, Stephen, Cecil, Peter I reckon.

Rachel
Tamsin
Alison

June, joy, Edith, Marilyn, Jenny, Sandra, Deborah,

Maude
Sylvia (although I think this is getting more popular)
Diane
Jean
Fiona
Magda
Simone
Melanie
Jane
Clarice
Edna
Lois
Claudia
Ingrid

Philippa. Shortened to Pippa

Francesca and Julia

I was going to say Pamela, also Belinda, Stephanie, Janet. Pamela is a really pretty name!

So long as it's not Silence!

Love Joan and Jean. Also Beryl, Margaret, Mavis, Maud.

I think we'll see variations on 1940s/50s names with the nickname version being prominent. Like with the Alfie/Freddy/Teddy trend for boys

Jane but maybe as Janey/Janie, or varients like Janet and Janine
Joan but maybe as Joanie/Joni
Elaine (Lainey?!)
Margaret (Maggie/Peggy)
Susan (Suzy)

Sylvia is definitely around. I met a little one with Margaret as a middle name recently and Edith is fairly popular I would say. Definitely seems to be that era coming back though often in nickname form, especially for boys (Frankie rather than Frank).

My daughter's first and middle name feature on here as positive ones which is nice because her first name is usually ridiculed on here.
