So if you are having a boy, I am submitting Frederick/Alfred/Freddy/Fred for your list. I am NOT having a boy, but I think it's my platonic ideal for a baby name -- classic but underused, a serious full name with friendly nickname options, and I find it extremely pleasing to say.

What else is due for a comeback? What name would it please you to no end to hear hollered across a playground or see printed on a daycare cubby?


This preoccupation with finding an “underused” name is so phucking weird

My almost 9 year old was supposed to be Veronica, but it just didn’t feel like it fit when we saw her. We went with Erica instead.

Our next door neighbors have a teen named Lina.

I tried to get Cadence by my husband, but he didn’t like it. Couldn’t use Candice, it is my best friend’s name.

I'm an older Gen X'er and these sound like the names of the girls who would hang out in the bathrooms at school, smoking and using tons of Aquanet.

Gen Xers with these names would have been Bill or Billy, Dan, Pat or Rick(y), Chris, Jeff and Tom or Tommy.

In my family’s situation, Dad is Bill and son is William.

Yep, I agreed with Daniel on the condition that there will be no nicknames. Seems like the rest of the moms felt the same: Daniel goes to school with Thomas and Gabriel, while my coworkers include Gabe and Tommy.
