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

Genuinely can’t imagine someone naming their kid John these days

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.

My cousin just called her little boy Stanley... It suits him

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
