HelpRe: Ruth, Dorothy, Shirley and Luana (more)
in reply to a message by Lily
I wouldn't be surprised if 30s/40s names came back in 10 years so I wouldn't worry about it. I'm partial to Geraldine which re-entered the top 1000 last year. I also really love Ramona and Marilyn. I don't know if Ramona is too closely associated with the 30's/40's but that is when the name peaked (I think it peaked in the 200's off the top of my head), and I see that name becoming more popular than ever.
I think I like Dorothy the best. I'm not a huge fan of Shirley. I'm on the fence with Luana, and never even realized it was a 30's/40's name.
I think Ruth and Dorothy will come back first so the safest combo for a baby born now would probably be Ruth Dorothy.
I prefer Dorothy over Ruth though and if you used Dorothy Ruth or even Dorothy Luana, I bet you would get respect for being ahead of the trends. Dorothy with nicknames Dot or Dotty is really sweet.
Dorothy Shirley is too repetitive for my tastes.
