Kid's names that won't make a comeback

[Rocky]

I've met an eight-year-old Cedric recently. I move in those sort of circles.

......poor sod (I mean Cedric not you)

Son in laws mate has just named their new boy Fox.. The surname is where this all goes wrong..

Pretentious parents and their stupid names, they even have them spelt wrong on the B, C to make them even more ridiculous..

I met a middle aged Jamaican chap once whose first name was Chrysanthemum.

When my mum was pregnant with my youngest sister, we jokingly referred to the unborn baby as Gertrude - this being the silliest name we could think of. On the day she went into labour, we all piled into the car heading for the hospital and passed the docks en route - to see the MV Gertrude tied up alongside.

So she called the baby ???

My own name, Maureen, seems to have gone out of fashion too. I still like it though. Lol.

My mum was Grace.

Is the surname Sake ?

A mate has the surname Hookham, he got the nickname Alf.

It's along those lines..

When our eldest child was born my wife was working as a primary school teacher. As such she had a degree of bias towards certain names, according to the pupils she had taught. On that basis we chose Thomas, it was not a name she had come across very often so might be a bit unusual. As it turns out we were 1 of thousands of parents making the same decision, as it turned out Thomas and Tom was one of the most popular names of the years !

My mum's name, Valerie seems to have died out now. Don't here it at all these days.
Ian Jnr, Henry.. he's the only Henry in his school.

I was up for Henry for our latest but he has it as a middle name. My mate Henry owns my LBS, I remember thinking his name was unusual for a young man when we first met, although I guess we're not so young any more.

I think that as well as the more zany names, more traditional names are making a comeback. OT prophets as well, Noah seems quite popular and I do know some Ezekiels and Isiahs, but that might just be amongst a certain set of my friends.

Ernie, the shorter form. There's one not too far away. His dad was the local milkman, before he sold the round.

Was he fast?

I don't think that there are any names that you can completely rule out. My daughter had a friend called Hephzibah.

Very biblical.

I indirectly know of a child whose first and only forename is Ptolemy. I have often wondered how that goes down school :-\
