Forgotten friends
One reason I love old-fashioned names is the thought of renewal. Like an old house being restored, I love to see names from the past being rediscovered. With that in mind, what do you think of the following names and can you see them coming back into popularity (or at least not laughed at when you suggest them to others):
Agatha
Ailsa
Bess
Blanche
Cora
Cornelia (nn Nell?)
Glynis
Edith
Edwina
Elsa
Enid
Eugenia
Frederica / Fredricka
Hester
Imelda
Jean
Joan
Muriel
Myra
Olympia
Regina
Renata
Sibyl
Ursula
Wilhelmina ("willa + mina")
Winifred
Heck. If Hazel and Tallulah can catch on, I figure some of these on my list have a chance. Does anyone else?
