17 Names Only Old People Have That Totally Deserve a Comeback
The popularity of names come and go as time goes on, but these are some names that seem to have waned in popularity that we definitely need to bring back.
Chester was on the top 100 list of names from the 1880s until 1929. Since then the name has been absent from the list.
The name Herman has never been outrageously popular
The last time Ernest was a big name was at the turn of the 20th century when it was in the top 40.
In 1915, Ida was the 10th most popular name! Definitely time to bring it back.
Dolores is a fun name that hasn't been in the top lists since 1930.
Florence hasn't been that popular of a name in the U.S. since 1981 (the last time it was on the top 1,000 popular names).
At the turn of the century, Gertrude was number 23 on the most popular names list. It fell to 977 in the '60s, but seems to be making a comeback!
Maurice was the most popular it's ever been in the 1870s.
Another name that peaked decades ago. This name reached the height of its popularity in 1936.
Bernice was an insanely popular name in the first 30 years of the 1900s.
In 1900, Clarence was name number 19 on the list of most popular names.
Earl was on the top of the charts in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and I think it deserves to come back in the 2000s
Barth (or Bartholomew) never really got a chance to shine, and I think right now is that chance.
In the 1800s, Edna was *this close* to cracking the top 10 names, but has fallen ever since. Definitely time to bring it back.
