| In the spirit of my previous post about phrases from the 20s 30s and 40s... please help me list names that will be all but memories within the next 20 years.
Such as:
Phyllis Gladys Gertrude Walter Herbert Henry Iris Elmer Alfred Dolores Virginia
Can you think of any names that are going to be or are already extinct from the 20s 30s and 40s ? | |

| Well...hopefully so. But I have a feeling someone is going to revive some of them. | |

| Is it Merdel or Myrtle ? I think those are two different names aren't they ? | |

Once the hipster generation starts spitting out kids... all the aforementioned names are going to get revived for sure! It'd be so ironic and counter-culture and vintage! | |

| I could be wrong but Myrtle is the spelling for the plant and Merdel is the spelling of the woman's name! | |

| Yeh, without intending to offend, I believe names like Peter and penis will never again be considered by parents of the future for obvious reasons. | |

I knew a guy whose parents named him Penis. He got made fun of a lot. Haha I'm hoping this is another case of autocorrect gone bad??? | |

| Actually, cheese, my wife's grandmother is named Myrtle - I think it's interchangeable.
What about: Ernest Orville | |

Haha I'm hoping this is another case of autocorrect gone bad??? I'm guessing he meant for it to read "D i c k", but the forum's auto-censor stopped him. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| Haha that makes sense... I hope we don't have any Richards on this forum who go by that name; that'd just be sad! Your own name: inappropriate for a Christian forum! Hmm... that just gave me an idea. What if the moderators set a handful of commonly-used words to be auto-corrected to something silly? | |

| My stepfather's name is Richard and he goes by Rick (and pretty much always has). For some reason a less than intelligent truck salesman insisted on calling him D i c k once......once. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

My mama's older brother is named Richard and to me and my brothers he's always been 'Uncle D i c k.' That's just the short form my grandparents chose. My mama is 'Patsy' and I havent heard that one in a very long time. Her middle name is even less common... Rowena.
Oddly enough, while I hear my first name fairly often [Rebecca], I did a check recently and my middle name [and the one I go by], Susan, apparently started losing steam in the 80's, so while there may be variations, just Susan might be on the way out.

| I knew a Rowena through working in pharmacy. I think that name definitely makes this list.
My brother's name is Richard and has always gone by Rick. If the other name was even hinted at, he'd probably help the person swallow some of their teeth.
But in the 30s thru the 50s there were many men named D i c k as their primary name, since it didn't mean anything else but their name back then. It's like "Gay", we have a patient named Gay. That name dropped in popularity through the 80s,90s, 2000s.... but I believe will probably make a huge comeback with the "open-mindedness" going on all around us.

Yup. Mama was named 'Rowena' after her daddy's oldest sister. Her first name, Patsy, came from the family dog. They had a red haired Chow named Patsy and Mama was born with a swath of red hair [which she kept all her life, though now, with age, it's a 'strawberry blonde']. Her parents, brothers and sisters all had black hair and dark brown eyes. Mama was fair, freckled, redheaded and had glass-green eyes. She was definitely the oddball, but her paternal grandma was a fair, green-eyed, redheaded Irish immigrant named Susanna [no... I wasnt named after her. I was named after my mama's favorite childhood doll].

| Very cool! I kind of wish I had been named after something cool like a doll or the family dog. All of my names are hand-me-downs (father, uncle, grandfather) _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."
