It’s called the 100-year rule
All the common names we grew up with were retro to our parents, and names we think are just so boomer are probably going to be our grandkids’ names.

Are geriatric names coming back? Are we going to have a generation of Gladyses and Eustices?

Looks like it. Names like Eleanor, Hazel, Lillian, Ellie and even Millie are in the top 100 baby names this year, and a couple of them are in the top 20 in the U.S.

I mean I want to name my first son Abe, but that’s because it was my grandfather’s americanized name (Ibrahim)
I think some geriatric sounding names are still respectable sounding enough to stand as good names for kids today. Dot and Conny I think would be good ones for girls and those are nicknames for Dorothy and Constance.
