Some of you have obviously never visited The Bump Baby Name Board.
I think Adolph and well, really that's it. All of the old fashioned names are coming back, and I don't think it will be too long before we see another surge of Karens and Barbaras, possibly children of Hazel and Pearl.

My grandma's name was Edna. I don't think it will ever come back. Her sisters were Audrey, Alice, Lillian, and Rose...all lovely names IMO. Her and her sister Joyce got the short end of the stick I feel.
Adolph/Adolf and I don't think many Westernized Middle Easterners are going to be naming their kids Osama/Usama or Hussein. I dated an Osama and he was in the process of changing his name to Sam.

MIL's name is Elvira. She HATES it and has forbidden any of us from continuing the tradition of naming after family members. We are under orders to let it die. If we have another child and it's a girl, I will use her nickname of Ivy as a middle name though.
A co-worker and his wife recently named their new daughter Tiffany Pearl (apparently this was her idea). Then she insisted on pearls from Tiffany as a push present.
