HelpRe: Forgotten friends
in reply to a message by Bear
The ones I like that I can picture coming back strong before too long:
Bess
Cora
Nell - and Nellie too! But not Cornelia, I'm afraid
Elsa
Hester
Jean
Joan
Muriel
Myra
Renata
Sibyl
I have friends who've mentioned interest in naming a real child Willa or Winnie, but not Wilhelmina or Winifred.
I know Hazel was used by Julia Roberts, which in theory will give it a bump, but I just don't like it, never have. I associate it with witch hazel, of which I have no good childhood memories. Tallulah I really like, and always have, but I don't know if it's going to catch on with the public at large. Maybe; but I have been laughed at for suggesting it, just a few months ago.
I have tremendous doubt that the other names will come back any time in the next fifty years. But then again, what do I know? Tough to predict. Who could have predicted Trinity or Nevaeh? Maybe Agatha and Edith will make the hot list with my kids.
