Names you very rarely see now

[Ash!]

Oscar, Gaylord, Farqaur, Len or Dennis

Or For the ladies, Ena, Edna, Betty.

Just a casual observation

If our first born had been a fella, we were going to call him Oscar.

Theres a long and really rather dull story behind this decision. Thankfully, 1st born was a girl, as was 2nd born. :spin:

EDIT// Equally as bizzare, we have a guy at work called John Farquar.

Oh i dunno Ash, this forum is full of gaylords!

Oscar - v.popular baby name amongst middle class Hampstead types - expect to see lots of Oscars working in Media about 20 years from now.

Betty - Elizabeth, Liz, Bet, Betty, Lillibet, Lizzy etc. etc.

Len is a top name but the only one I can think of offhand is Bishop Brennan - "Don't call me Len you little bollicks, I'm a Bishop"

Oh, there's a Dennis in Eastenders - and he's young - so expect a resurgence of that one amongst the kind of people who call their babies Kylie or Britney.

 

[~Mobius~]

Ever seen an old man called Jamie?

Or a baby called Edna?

Its a conspiracy I tell's you!

According to ONS, Jack and Chloe are still the most popular names given to babies in England and Wales

Boys

Girls

"And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross
I'll tell them I found Jesus that should throw them off
He goes by the name Hay-Zoos and steals hubcaps from cars
Oh Jesus can I borrow your crowbar?"
