Girls names that won’t come back…..

[Rincoe]

Barbara
Gertrude
Muriel
Mildred
Majorie
Eileen
Geraldine

I like the name Jennifer. Don’t hear it now.
Also Lisa. And I think Sarah is a classic.
Karen is so pretty, shame about “Karen”

I remember when the Walton sextuplets were born in Liverpool (Kate, Sarah, Jennifer, Lucy, Hannah and Ruth) and my mum going, 'oh, what lovely simple sensible names!' I think they may have set a trend for 80s and 90s girls, but you hardly hear Ruth, Sarah or Jenny now.

(Just in shock when I realise that those tiny baby girls are now in their mid-forties...)😱

VD.

The list of groups at our under-12s football club has just been released...there are girls named Valerie, Clara, Marjorie, Colina and Jocelyn, with multiple Lucys and Elsies, and there are boys named Jeremy, Solomon, Cliff, Kevin and Kenny. I don't think any name is ever gone for good...

Lancelot.
I can’t see it making a comeback.
I only knew one.
He went by Lance.

Oops forgive me @RincoeI didn’t read the thread title correctly and you were asking for girls names that won’t come back 🙈

I know a 38yo Susan. It was old fashioned to my ears when I met her.

I can see Barbara making a comeback. it’s already in the process of getting more popular again (IMO).

Eileen and Geraldine might as well…

Brunhilde probably won’t.

Yes, I am 76 and there were several Susans at my school. It was my favourite name and I wished my parents had called me that.

I like the name very much and think it is due a come back, also Barbara which has just been mentioned.

Bertha.................................

I was out on bank holiday Monday with a Barbara who was born in 1991.

I have taught an ADA, Dorothy, Gertrude and Agnes. They are ALL on their way back!

Ada! I guess after Ada Lovelace rather than Ada the granny from the Young Doctors which I always associate it with

My friend has a little girl called Ada. She's 4 and a half and named after her great grandma's middle name.

I know two 7 year old Adas

Janet

Rita ?

Rita I could definitely see making a comeback.

Maureen
Diane
Doreen
Sandra

I would add 'Eileen' to that list, don't like any of them.

Vanessa
Melissa
Tiffany
Cheryl
Debbie
Wendy
Lorraine
Julie

There are many that were popular in the late 1960s that aren’t used now.

Melanie

Ms Rachel named her baby daughter Susannah and I think it’s lovely. I’d consider it if I had another girl, although we’d probably go with Susie for short rather than Susan.
