Names you never see given to newborns anymore

[Finch]

Exactly the one i was gonna say (nicked from Ricky Gervais Fame I believe!)

I came across an Adolf at work a few weeks ago. He was born in 1936 though, so it was probably a more popular time for it.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Keith.

There's loads in my dad's generation, but can you imagine naming your baby Keith?

My son is called John - when I was a kid there were thousands of Johns (there were three in my class at secondary school). Yet now, my son is the only John in his school. That's quite a turnaround.

 

[HovaGirl]

I've never met a Cuthbert of any age, let alone heard of a new one.

The first Cut is the deepest . . .

My wife is a social worker and as a result she gets to meet loads of kids with real chavvy names like Mercedes etc. but was rather taken aback the other week when she was introduced to Baby Colin !! Just seemed wrong....

 

[Norman Potting]

Tracy

...So what have you got against Gordon? I think that the name probably fell out of favour after the Jilted John single was a hit!

You don't even get Davids anymore do you really. It's surreal to think 30 years from now no one will have a mate called Dave!

There will probably be more people called Sky than Dave.

Everyone called Sky will be a self-centred, devious piece of filth, trying their hardest to ruin other people's lives with their inane trashy drivel.
Everyone called Dave will just end up repeating themselves.

 

[Curious Orange]

Derek

Good solid name that. Dereks don't run.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

One place you do still hear the really old fashioned names is in the Irish traveller community.

There's plenty of traveller girls with names like Bridget, or boys called Albert/Albie, Francis or Frank.

There's another one - Alan. Good solid name that. Alans don't take any shit.

 

[The Large One]

Where have all the Malcolms gone?

Sent from - not telling as it upsets some people!
