Re: 50 forgotten(?) American favourites
in reply to a message by em
Myrtle: Very doubtful that this will come back. Just sounds ugly, and it just doesn't seem to be the kind of flower name that is trendy now.
Thelma: Highly doubtful.
Lois: doubtful
Rita: Possibly.
Edna: I hope not.
Rhonda: Probably not for a while yet.
Carol: I see potential here. Carol is soft and pretty, and maybe some parents will want to honor Grandma by naming a baby after her? Carol is very common for grandma-aged ladies now.
Beatrice: I see it becoming trendy, like Emma and Ella.
Sylvia: maybe
Jeannette: Quite possible. J names have potential.
Gladys: Doubtful, even if it is Welsh.
Roxanne: In my totally unbiased opinion :) maybe.
Deborah: Maybe. Being Biblical, it has a good chance.
Beverly: I don't see why not, it would fit in with all the other used-to-be-just-surnames.
Rosemary: Already o the way back.
Maude: I hope I do't live long enough to see this get popular again. Mawwwwd.
Gwendolyn: Possibly. The Welsh thing.
Candace: Possibly. Very classy and feminine.
Wanda: I doubt it.
Marjorie: Possibly, seeing as how Margaret and Maggie are already popular.
Louise: Definitely has potential. It's already very popular as a middle name.
Roberta: Outside chance.
Tamara: Possibly, very feminine and sounds/looks like the currently popular Samara.
Doris: Hope not.
Genevieve: Definitely.
Leona: No.
Maureen: Oh yes, definitely! Irish is in.
Constance: Sure, virtues are in too.
Flora: Probably, flowers are in too.
Harriet: outside chance. In the same category as Beatrice.
Muriel: Maybe, but I doubt it.
Sonya: Probably not.
Winifred: Doubt it. Doesn't roll off the tongue very easily.
Rosalie: Entirely possible. Everything is coming up roses.
Maxine; I doubt it. The crabby old lady on Shoebox cards has this locked up.
Selma: No.
Phyllis: No.
Augusta: outside chance.
Frieda: Nope
Arlene: Maybe
Robyn: Quite possible. Very cute, unisexy and has the y.
Meredith: Oh yes, any day now.
Yvette: Maybe, but don't hold your breath.
Lori: I wouldn't be surprised. Laurena nd Laura and Lorelei are close to it.
Tillie: Maybe, just maybe.
Sally:: Maybe, when Sarah finally fades.
