HelpRe: Which vintage name do you NOT want make a comeback?
in reply to a message by EvanslandCleve
I’m usually far too tolerant of vintage/antique names, the uglier they are the more I like and pity them LOL
Perhaps…
Roy (just because I can’t pronounce it to save my life)
Laverne, Ladonna and any of that type
Doyle
Ha! I knew I would think of another one… Dora.
I don’t agree with your list except for maybe Leonard (I see it on Nameberry forums sometimes and I’m like, seriously guys??). I quite like Dottie, Patsy, Hettie, Betsy & Bessie, all as nicknames though, and Joan and Reginald. I am pretty indifferent to the rest though.

My grandpa’s middle name is Le Roy…or should I say middle names lol. His half sister is also named LaDonna. Unfortunate names run in the family I suppose.
I’m so shocked anyone likes the name Leonard but again I wonder if people just name a kid an old person name to be in on the trends and then just plan to call them something else like Leo. My cousin named her daughter Marceline only to call her Mack. I don’t get it.
