I think many of the mens names that became women's names are never going back. (Courtney, Lindsey, Leslie, Tracy, Stacy, Ashley, Meredith, Allison, Dana, Kelly, Vivian, etc.)
I still kind of like Whitney for a boy. "Whit" would be a cool nickname.
I pretty much figure any name has a chance to come back. I currently know a Ruth, Angus, and Lincoln. So who knows anymore.
Though I hope Mildred stays away (dh's gma's name) and I'd be fine with Agnes and Zola not coming back (both from my mom's family).
I do love Hazel (dh hates it) and if we have a daughter her middle name will be Mae. All of our grandmothers have M names so it would be a nod to them.
My grandpa was Bueford DeVaughn. (First and middle) No shit. His mother's mom named him after two different characters in books she'd read while she was recovering from childbirth.
I can guarantee that will never be used again. He made my mother promise she wouldn't name any of her kids after him.

My dad and brother are both Chesters. If my brother has a son, he will most likely be Chester III. I'm trying to come up with a reason I shouldn't call the kid C3PO.
Oh and I don't think Agatha, will be making a comeback any time soon.

I love the name Damian but would never be able to use it, my husband wouldn't allow it.
BIL has the name as I said and a close friend of H. Both are spelled the Spanish way...with the "e" I think, correct me if I'm wrong. Is this a common Spanish name? H's friend is Spanish and FIL is Argentine.
