Older Names… That Will Never Be Popular Again

It seems like every kid is being named Liam and Olivia these days, but that won’t ALWAYS be the case… names go in and out of fashion.  Usually.

There’s a list online of “old-school names” that people say will NEVER become popular again… and there are some good ones.

Here are the highlights:

1.  Elmo… at least partially because of the “Sesame Street” character.

2.  Kermit… for the same reason.

3.  Ebenezer… even though Scrooge was ultimately reformed.

4.  Adolf… for obvious reasons.

5.  Karen… because of the internet.

6.  Fanny… because of immaturity, I guess.

7.  Isis… for obvious reasons.

8.  Alexa… Amazon really killed the momentum of that one, even though I wouldn’t consider it an “old-school name.”

9.  Gary… No real reason… but can you imagine a baby named Gary?  Because I can’t.
