[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think they will come back into fashion? You never hear these ones anymore. Then again, 30 years ago I can't imagine folks getting excited about Ruby, Pearl, or Isabelle. Any you think could claw their way back to popularity?

50s:

Janice
Barbara
Leslie
Nancy
Sally
Norma
Linda

60s/70s
Donna
Jessica
Jillian
Jennifer
Lisa
Meghan/Megan
Christina/Kirstina/Kristen/Kirsten
Julie
Lindsey/Lindsay/Lyndsey
Tara

I know at least 5 babies and young kids named Sally. All from the South. Guess it's trending there?

Julia's pretty common so it's easy to imagine Julie making a comeback. I can see Linda, Lisa, Christina, Tara, Meghan, Jillian, Jessica all coming back fairly soon as they all seem similar in some way (ending in -a, ending in -n) to names that are popular now. I don't think Janice, Barbara or Norma are as likely to make a comeback as they all seem so middle aged-elderly secretary to me.

Some more 50s names I can see coming back: Karen, Susan, Deborah/Debbie, Diana. And 60s-80s: Kimberly, Krista, Katie/Katherine (k names seem to be in)
