My sister and my Aunt were both called Gwlythyn it originated in Wales but I can't find any references to it or ever heard it used, I'm pretty sure I won't hear that one again.

My aunt Hettie proper name Henrietta and my aunt Sabina never heard it since.I also had an uncle Aston. I will probably remember others but these spring to mind.

I'm not betting on any names not coming back! A London-based friend says there are Reggies and Elsies and Stanleys on the school roll now.

Another friend has just become a grandma to Wulfric, which I'm guessing might last have been in fashion in about 987AD.

I won't hold my breath for Trevor, though. grin

I watched a Miss Marple film today, one character was named Lettice, I had a g aunt Lettice, known as Lettie. I just cannot believe this name will be given to a child again.

What is your - it will never come back choice of name?
