old fashioned names

[zzxxee]

whilst watching eastenders lastnight and stacey calling her baby "lily", it got me thinking about how some old fashioned names are making a come back i know a 6 year old called "rose" also there are a few arthurs around as well
do you think any "fannys" or " maudes" will ever become popular again or are these names lost forever ??

I did ask my daughter if she would call any daughter she had 'Fanny'. She just gave me 'that look'..... and sighed.

I know an Archie, Alfie and a Sidney. One of my step-granddaughters is called Constance. I know a Maisie, Martha and, unfortunately for her, a Gladys (a newborn baby called Gladys????!!!! - It grows on you, honest!)

She was usually called Do (or Doh !). She loved a slug of whiskey, tried to smoke occasionally but never got the hang of inhaling. She let us be naughty rather than having to mind our p's and q's - and she boasted to anyone who would listen that she was bisexual (she meant ambidextrous).
I aim to be just like her when I'm old....
