Eileen - open to teasing, with “come on Eileen!”

Melanie

Love Marjorie.

I would have said Margot a little while ago - and look what happened.

Agnes has already come back

Martha
Gladys
Hortense
Doris

Gail Wanda Belinda Linda Carol Valerie Audrey Lorraine Norma

I think there’s potential for nearly ANY name to come back, all it takes is a famous actress, character in a popular show, or mention in a song for a name to become ‘trendy’

Maude Apatow suits her name.

When naming my daughter 8 years ago I really, really liked Vivienne, which is fairly old fashioned.

i do think harsh sounding names are more of an issue - Kelly, Terry, Sharon, Tracey etc

We have an Ethel due to start reception in September!

Loads of Martha’s around.

And I met a little Audrey ( and Audra) recently, @ParkingNightmares

I would have said Freda…but add a Scandi vibe - Frida - and gorgeous!

You're showing your age - I don't think current new parents, let alone future ones, think of that song particularly often!

Brenda. I just don’t see it happening

Tryphena sounds like a headache pill

Mabel.

A new baby in the family narrowly escaped that name.

Give it time, they'll all be back. We just won't be here to see it.

Bernadette
Beverly
Cheryl
Una
Bianca

I have a friend called Gertrude. She's 30, Ghanaian
Her nickname is Trudy, it suits her

I actually like this one! I wouldn’t use it but I really don’t hate it. Maybe I’ll use it on my next cat instead 😂

Diana.... love the name but.... stuff
