Me and a few friends got talking over the weeks. And realised that their are a few first names you never hear babies being given.

Grant : all the Grant’s I know are 40+

Karen : A’s above

Glen : only know 2 and they are over 50

Agnes : Say no more

Please feel free to add your contribution and your thoughts.

If I was having a girl I wanted to call her Anges!

I think ‘old’ names are coming back

I dont think my (real) name is a popular choice these days but a lot of the more old fashioned ones are..

Like edith and dorothy

I had this discussion with a few friends lately,trying to think of baby names.

Not so much obsolete but how some names are more associated with an age group/generation.

Bruce, Ronald, Stanley just don't fit a baby. Nothing wrong with those names but they are associated with an adult.

If I had a son I would call him Stan

They will all come back around full circle I bet, like the Arthurs and Mauds are now.

When I was pregnant with my first son 14 years ago I really wanted to call him Abraham but everybody I knew slated me so I went with something else. But I still love the name and still haven’t ever met a real life Abraham.

It seems that these names are still quite popular but in their original form such as Andrew and Stephen.

I wanted to name my son after my dad but it just didn't suit. I tried variations too but still no. It's his middle name now

I know a Glen under 40 and an Andy (male) under 25.

I love the name Abraham for a boy, if I were to have children I'd use that name. I also love Malakai. Biblical names from both ends of the spectrum.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I know a small child called Agnes.

I haven't met a child called Keith or Roger in the last 15 years.

Think some names are very of their era, like Donna and Tracy
