I definitely think that Bonnie could gain some traction nowadays; I agree with everyone’s comments inquiring a future resurrection. I’m not so sure about Clyde, but I guarantee that people will begin to recognize it again.

I think Bonnie for sure could rise significantly again. Never to the very top, but I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually crept up near the top 100. It's in the top 50 in the UK and North America usually catches on a bit late, but does eventually pick up the trends over there.

Clyde I think may always be a bit of an oddball. I am surprised, though, that Clyde seems more popular overall than Clive!

I think they will both increase because they are "vintage".

Clyde is the natural successor to popular names like Wyatt, Weston, and Tanner that are associated (however tenuously) with the (mountain) West here in the U.S. I'm not surprised by its resurgence.

Bonnie's resurgence is a bit more surprising to me, since it was most popular in the U.S. in the 40s and 50s.

I think Bonnie might, it fits in with Ellie and Maggie and Josie and names like that.
Clyde, not so much. I can only ever see people using it "ironically" or possibly after Great-Grandpa.

I think Bonnie will, but not Clyde
