Going to cause an argument here but...

[louisejohnson87]

what the hell is going on with all these awful old fashioned names coming back into fashion?!?!

Albert
Gregory
Terence

Winnifred
Gwendoline
Vivien

I mean come on they were awful back then but why sentence your child before its even here???

I like a few of those far better than alot of the names that are around today.

You're quite right. We should stick with good sound 70s names. Like...er...Louise

I love vivienne.

Don't get me started I hate my name!! It's boring but some of the names that have been mentioned in some of these threads are just horrid!

I like Albie, but not sure I could go for Albert.

It's all a matter of opinion though, isn't it? The world would be a dull old place if we all had the same teste.

lol taste, TASTE!!!

Each to their own and all that ...

ummm well actually what the hell does it matter.i'll call my children what i like,you call yours what you like.all happy??simple!

I like Gregory and Vivienne.

I like Albert and Vivienne

lol at teste

I know an Albert and Maisie and they really suit their names

Also 2 little sisters in the library the other day - Maude and Blanche.

Now the above are not names I would particularly call my own dc but that is just because they are not my taste.

You are absolutley right Louise.
No one should be allowed to name their child until you have okayed it.

I like those names btw. Well, except Terence, obviously.

terence, is indeed god awful - and would have a friend called gary.

not too keen on albert actually, like do you really want to call your kid afer a knob piercing.

the others are ok.

i like agnes.

i might have another kid and call her agnes, i love the name that much

nah fuck that

I'm not convinced that Terrence IS coming back - only ever heard it mentioned on here and most people agreed that it was awful.

I like old fashioned and traditional names - but not keen on any that you mentioned above.

for me, Terrence, Gregory and Vivienne are boring, working class names that become popular in the 70s.

Is Gergory coming back - I have not hard of one new Gregory for ages?

I really like Gregory. Wanted to call DS2 that as my late mother liked Gregory Peck. DH was having none of it as there were so many Gregs at his posh school - definately not 1970's working class in my area of the country!

Vivienne and albert
