Barbara

Tracy and Sharon.
And after the way it's now been linked as an insult, Karen.

Side note, I gave my daughter a very lovely but very granny first name. Since she’s been a teen she’s chosen to go by a different name.

There is a 6 year old Myra over the road from us, I work with a 42 year old Myra as well, so it's not completely gone away.

Definitely Gemma.

Daughter is at school with an Ethel. 13 yrs old.

Prudence is surely extinct?

Agree. Though it was my second choice.

Oh, and god rest my Gran Gran.....Queenie.....yes.....Queenie!

I know a dog named Elaine, she's really lovely.

I love the name Gemma/Jemma!

DS has a friend called Dulcie.

Agnes, Audrey, Margot are quite normal.

Was she really a Queenie, or an Elizabeth or Victoria or Alexandra or even Mary with Queenie as a diminutive?

Actually I think you’re onto something with Ghislaine - it might be like Adolf or Ebenezer - both actually themselves common names at the time that never shook the association with the one person.

Vera
Hilda
Marie
Valerie

Millennial first names are going to be out of fashion for about 30 years.....Neil, Gemma, Samantha, Rebecca, Jasmine, Dominic

Brenda

She was 100% Queenie......her Dad (my Great Grandad? Was a "Jessy" which I think is also unusual for a male name.

I like Lettice but people can’t pronounce it correctly.

My best friends at primary school included girls called Clare, Sally, Mandy, among others. Mid to late 80s.

They don't sound especially old fashioned, but if you think about it, you don't really see these names anymore on young people.

Isn’t one of Amanda Owen’s daughters called Ethel?
