Re: Which vintage name do you NOT want make a comeback?
I agree with the majority of those names, especially in regards to:-Guy (it's just weird. Be the equivalent of naming a girl, Lady)
-Betsy/Patsy
-Bessie (Good name for a cow. 🐮)
-Barbara (always strongly disliked this one)
- Joan (Although I do find Joanie adorable)
-Melvin (I don't know how tf that one is still on the charts AND even went up last year. How???
-Dennis/Denis (Reminds me of the word dentists & my family knew a guy named this that we wish we could all forget. I won't go into details here, but let's just say that the name is completely tainted & ruined for us.) Some of the ones I can think of are:-Donald (For obvious reasons)
-Nancy (Similar to Barbara, I don't understand why this one doesn't just leave already.)
-Ethel (I had a Great-grandmother named this and it reminds me of the iconic duo of Ethel & Lucy, but there's no denying that the name isn't exactly nice sounding.)
-Patrice
-Peggy
-Bruce
-Myrtle
-Howard
-Doris
-sybil
-Valerie
-Phyllis

I’ve actually met a few ladies named…well, Lady. They were all Hispanic and some of them spelled it Leidy or some other variation. I think your additions are spot on except for Valerie. I knew a very sweet Valerie and the name grew on me. But I can see how dated it sounds.
