Old fashioned names

[Daffodilica]

Doris and Dorothy seem old-fashioned (my great aunt and nan's names!). You don't hear of many Kenneths now, although I know a 12-year-old with the name!

My Grandpa was called Josiah which I can't see catching on, or Edgar, an Uncle and Aunts called Winifred and Delores which I can't imagine being used today. Some names just don't lend themselves to infants of today....although I know of one girl who named her children Noah and Ida

My name (Elizabeth) could be considered a "timeless" name but I've always been known as Betty which ages it a bit  .
My mother was Nora and my father was James (Jim). Siblings are Olive, Frank and Stanley. My daughter is Kathleen and my sons are David, James and Robert.

I had aunts called Mavis, Annie, Jessie, Alice and Ivy and uncles were Harry, Walter and Stanley. I have a neighbour who has just had twin girls called Elsie and Evelyn which surprised me!

I have a few times Gt Grandfather who was called Aminadab! He must have been happy with it as he named his son the same. My daughter's friend has recently had a baby and called her Elsie, that was my grandmas name so it puts me in mind of someone with permed hair and glasses, not a baby.

My niece had a baby this afternoon! They've used an old and new name - Jessica Skye.

Admonition Drew baptized 9 October 1768, Stoke Damerel, Devon. There are only 5 children named Admonition on Free BMD 1837 to about 1975.

I cannot work out what statement the parents of these children are trying to make.

It sounds quite puritan to me
