HelpRe: Which vintage name do you NOT want make a comeback?
in reply to a message by EvanslandCleve
Cletus. It is one of the ugliest names. Humphrey, Rudolph, Seth, Abner, Eustace and Enoch don't need to return as far as I'm concerned.
Hepzibah is not my cup of tea. I am not a Delilah fan, but it has already become popular.
Some names like Ermengarde and Barnabas are so clunky that, despite not liking them, I would be fascinated if they made a comeback.

Maybe some people like the more unusual sounds. Knox seems popular, so maybe Enoch has a similar sound but a different vibe that appeals to people?
I actually know an Enoch. It’s not an uncommon name where I live and here it’s pronounced “Ee-nick.” Not sure if it’s pronounced differently elsewhere.
I know that Enoch is a biblically important figure related to "the last days" described in the Book of Revelation, and the number of people who really believe in that stuff seems to be increasing; I wonder if that's another reason why.
