Kid's names that won't make a comeback

[Yellow Fang]

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

Perhaps she read Silas Mariner by George Elliot. There was an Hephzibah in that, shortened to Eppie. You don't hear of many Silas's these days.

Once had a colleague called Myra. Not many girls have been named that recently.

Gertrude?

I would have said Gertrude - the name of my Grandmother so old lady associations - but there's a teenage character in Marvel's Runaways called Gert so it could easily be back sooner than you think.

Hi Keith

Never came across a Fanny for years.

That's frustrating .........

The dog is blind in one eye, has three false legs, but still the original bark.

There's a boy at a nearby school called Vanslow. A Scandinavian name I'm told, although he isn't.

In a shop, in Liverpool last year, a proper scouse woman shouted her snotty nosed kid "Hercules, ger 'ere NOW"!!.
I have never heard a kid called that before

Melvin. Sid. Mary. Lilly. Gladis. Earnest. Walter. Howard. Barry. To name a few.

I once experimented with bisexuality but it was only half in Earnest.

ah yes, it would seem my generation seem to be set on naming kids unusual names to try and make them appear to be different. a quick google search reveals...

If it helps, my daughter is called Evelyn, and my dog is called Trigger. yep, #45.

Theseus would be an excellent name for a dog.

More than a fair few names from Game of Thrones in there. Surprised "Khaleesi" didn't make the list.

At Durham Miners Gala a couple of years ago, two little boys had made a den under the stage. "Tyler, Alphonso, get out here now" was what Mum shouted!

There was the loony neo-Nazi couple who named their child Adolf.

They were sentenced by a judge called Melbourne.

Presumably, until Hitler came along Adolf was a name that would have passed without comment.

My niece's best friend is called Siouxsie.
My nephew here has a son called Storm.
A neighbour (from NZ) is called Dallas. '


I like old names like Wilfred, Manfred, Frederick, Herbert, Albert, Henry, Harold, for the boys,
And Annie, Betty, Tilly, Milly, Molly, Dora, Nora, Hattie, Nelly for the girls.

We'll all be numbers in the future:

In the future it will be much easier to sign (and forge) cheques if we a numerically named, unless you are called Pi.

My nephew here has a son called Storm.

I know a Storm - female though.
Her last name is one that also works as a fairly common first name so she sounds like one of those weather events that they name on the news!

A friend will be having his first grandchild soon, a boy, to be called Sixton of something similar, apparently its Swedish, the only Swedish connection they have is that their daughters partners dad lives in Stockholm (he's English)
