Names never to return?

I'm not betting on any names not coming back! A London-based friend says there are Reggies and Elsies and Stanleys on the school roll now.

Another friend has just become a grandma to Wulfric, which I'm guessing might last have been in fashion in about 987AD.

I won't hold my breath for Trevor, though.

Euphemia would be my choice Although I quite like Effie.

My aunt Hettie proper name Henrietta and my aunt Sabina never heard it since.I also had an uncle Aston. I will probably remember others but these spring to mind.

I had an Aunt Anastasia and an Uncle Cornelius in Ireland

My sister and my Aunt were both called Gwlythyn it originated in Wales but I can't find any references to it or ever heard it used, I'm pretty sure I won't hear that one again.

Not sure if Ada, Edna or Hortense will come back, although there is an Edith in my GD's school. Wonder if Horace will ?

tanith that is unusual, one of my g g grandmothers was named Gwenllian , I will look in my records if births I transcribed see if Gwlythyn is listed, I can't recall it .

I doubt Bertha will come back

There's a new housing scheme being built in Perth and that is to be called Bertha Park. I just immediately think of Big Bertha. Apparently, it's named after a Roman camp that is in the area.

I would have said Agnes, but a friend has just called their poor little lass by this name.

DD2 teaching Horace, Betty, Edith in her reception class.

Nobody seemds to be rushing rushing to use my BsiL names: Brian/Trevor

DGS2, aged 4, is Stanley and his friend is Arthur.

I know a 5 year old Hettie (yes, Henrietta), and my DGS have friends called Stanley, Arnold and Arthur.

My best guesses for names that have had their day would be things that are fairly common in our generation, like Colin and Keith. Though I do know a baby Jeff, so who can tell?

Oo, crossed posts, Penstemmon!

Anniebach I'll be interested to hear if you can find anything I never have. I only wish I'd asked my Mother where the name came from and another puzzle is that she and my Aunt, her only sister didn't really get on yet my Mum called her first child after her sister, which I now think is very odd. They were born in the Rhonda Valley if that's any help.
Gwenllian is unusual too never heard it before.

It's interesting that so many of the old names are coming back isn't it. My GS is Samuel and there is a little boy at his play group called Walter. Funny to think that, 50 years or so from now, Sharon, Tracy and Charlene will be considered "old fashioned" and may make a come back

My grandmother's name was Gertrude. Now I'm going to be REALLY surprised if that name comes around again!

I know of a Matilda, Alfie, Albert, Arthur, Florence and Penny.-all 5 and under.,

My son and nephew are both Samuel another nephew just born is George Alan and a niece is Elsie Rose.

I haven`t come across a Hilda for quite a while, the last one I knew was my auntie.

Vera and Joyce ??

Muriel and Gladys?

tanith, Rhondda is a great help, a South Wales name , will try

I too doubt Gladys will come back

I think Vera may come back. The TV programme Vera has brought the name back into the public eye, bet it won't be long before there's a resurgence of little Vera's in playschool!

DD knows of two little Mabels. That surprised me.
