Barbara
Gertrude
Muriel
Mildred
Majorie
Eileen
Geraldine

Dorcas is lovely!

I've got a Kay, Kerry, Joan, Karen, Margo, Margarita, Muriel, Nora, Pauline & Sonya.
There all cows though so they don't seem to mind. I need names beginning with an O this year if anyone has any ideas.

So funny. How about Odette?

Olive. That was my Grandma's name.

I know children called Mary, Dorothy, Elsie, Mabel, Humphrey, Stanley, Fred, Connie, Penny, Sylvia, Ted, Kenneth, Rita, Albert, Susan, Ronnie, Frank, Sally, Raymond...

I haven't come across anyone under 50 named Keith, Norman, Maud, Mildred, Ethel, Audrey, Leslie, Roger, Gerald, Harold, Wendy, Deirdre, Lionel, Una, Edna, Roy, Glynis, Pauline...

Sorry, realised OP specifically asked about girl's names and I've thrown in some boys!

I'll add in Belinda and Linda and Judith and Theresa too!

Odette and Olive added to the list! Thank you

Hilda
Gladys
Nora

I think Linda, Lisa and Christina (Chrissie/Tina) are great names. They'll sound fresh in 20 years. They're not so different to Lina and Nina which get suggested here regularly.

There's two Noras in my 7 year old daughter's class!

Jean

Olive and Ottilie.

@RafaFan
Ottilie added, thanks

There is a Dorcas in DS’ year - I had to asked him to repeat the name when he was saying something about her

Donna
Denise
Tiffany
Theresa

Orna or Orla. Olwen. Olga.

I know a little Mary and she’s great!

An Eileen and an Ida are in my granddaughters reception class.

I am Carol and my daughter assures me that my name is now extinct.

I know it's a boy's name, but my husband's grandfather was called Horace. I really can't see that coming back. Horatio and Horatia perhaps stand a better chance.

My mum was called Gertrude, born in 1929. She hated it with a passion, and always went by her second name. Dad used to call her it when she annoyed him.

I don't think any name can be rules out for a comeback!

Who would have thought 20 years ago that we'd have baby Audreys, Arthurs and Ediths now?

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g
I like to create a link with my names so if Ivana or her daughter Lenka have a heifer then I think Olga would be perfect, Thanks.

Otillie?

Scrub that, I see it's already on the list!

From this thread - I think it shows Beryl and Bertha ain’t coming back ….

My Nan, who was born in 1909, had neighbours who were sisters called Florence and Gertrude. They went by Flo and Gertie. My mum thought they were horrific names!
