Which names are surprisingly uncommon/unpopular?

[Cortina]

Just musing after pondering Christabel.

Thinking of:

Sacha/Sasha
Mirabel
Clarissa
Angus
Susannah
Julia
Mark (don't know of any who are not 30 plus)
John (just getting popular again)
Louise/Louisa
Flora

Must be more!

All together now 'Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love Ya, tomorrow, your only a day away'.

I know a 3.5 year old Annie. It's very cute.

Annie is lovely! I wanted to use it but dh has very red hair and sais a red head called Annie would be a bit mean.
What about Bernard? Has Bernie for a nn (similar to Alfie, Freddie, Archie etc).
I love it, surprised it is not more popular, maybe due a revival.
I might start a separate thread about it!
Also with Ruby and Jade being sooooo popular i thought Pearl may follow, but it doesn't seem to have done.

Hilda was Margaret Thatcher's middle name......Hilda would not be top of my list!

I'm older than most MNeters I think the names of some of the people I went to school with must be due a come back.

Angela, Lorraine, Julie, Alison, Jane, Bridget, Carol, Caroline, Carolyn, Christine, Karen (lots of those!), Nicholett, Brenda, Alison, Patricia, Jill, Gillian, Andrea, Gaynor, Janet, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth (this was the middle name chosen for many), Susan, Lynne, Linda, Valerie, Shirley, Maureen, Beverley, Anne, Lisa, Rosemary, Pamela, Pauline, June, Avril, Brenda.

Mark, Steven, David, Michael, John, Richard, Christopher, Martin, Colin, Gary, Stuart, Angus, Timothy, Nigel, Douglas, Glyn, Kevin, Paul, Wayne, Darren, Shaun, Terrence, Peter, Nicholas, Barry, Bernard, Norman, Simon, Andrew, Robert, Karl, Jeffrey, Graeme.

Some of the girls names may come back into fashion if new mums choose to name DD after granny!
Some of the boys names are always popular. Many should only be rediscovered on a census!

Hilda is still MT's middle name..... not dead yet is she!

I know someone who named their dd Lily-Ann after their Nanna who was called Lillian.

Enid, Elsie, Ethel and Edna are just plain cruel, IMO. They look ugly, they sound ugly. No, no and no.

All of my friends seem to be called Anne or Helen. It must be a generational thing. I don't know any small ones, but quite a few small Annas and Helenas.

a friend is due to call her bump Elsie.
I think its lovely

Elsie to me is one of those screech names - "Elsieeeeee!" (or round here it would be "Ewsieeeee!") Like "Eeeeelaine!"

Elsa is better, IMO.

I love Enid - it was one of the names we were going to call ds2 2 years ago!

"Eeeeeeeenid!"

You would probably hate my DDs' names. I think it's the screech factor that does it for me. Although personally I think Enid looks and sounds ugly. My mother has a lovely friend called Enid, and she has always loathed her name.
