Barbara?

It's got the exact ingredients I'm looking for, in that it's not remotely unusual and yet nobody is calling their daughters it any more. But I still can't take it seriously - must be the Barbara Windsor association!

But can anyone think of other girls names along this ilk?

But Brenda / Doreen...?! Sorry, these lack even kitsch appeal imo.
