HelpRe: Which vintage name do you NOT want make a comeback?
in reply to a message by EvanslandCleve
I agree with most of your names, except I like Judith and don't mind Betsy, Dennis, and Melvin.
For me, I would like Bernard, Bertha, Beulah, Blanche, Doris, Edna, Ethel, Gladys, Herbert, Irma, Norbert, Mildred, Myrtle, Nancy, Olga, Phyllis, Rufus, Sybil, and Thelma to remain in the past. Especially Rufus because it seems like such a dog name to me; I can't take it seriously on a real person.
Also, I wish Eleanor, Elsie, Florence, Frances, Harrison, Hattie, Lola, Mabel, Rosie, Sadie, Sullivan, and Willa hadn't made a comeback.

Melvin actually has never left the top 1000 in the US actually, so there must be lots of people who agree with you on that front.
I’m actually shocked that Sybil has not made a comeback already. It seems to be a name that lots of people like. That, and Thelma.
I have a nephew named Reggie and I think it’s in the same vein as Rufus. A dog name, and after that an old person name.
Elsie, Rosie, Sullivan, and Willa I’m partial to, Lola I have mixed opinions about. I also have a nephew named Sullivan so I could be partial that way.
