She must have been the sweetest, nicest, most caring gandmother ever. And beautiful. She must have made men swoon everywhere she went. Probably a good cook not to mention a fabulous housekeeper. And kind to animals too!
(I hope to heaven she wasn't a grandma who did 10 to 20 in the State Pen for running bunco games out of her basement.)
hehehe I hear she was indeed a sweet grand gal, much like you must be :-)...but never met her myself. lol
I think the '50s and '60s names will come back. The next generation will be naming kids after their grandparents and great-grandparents; Nancy, Barbara, Sally, Karen, Carol and Susan. The boys will be Greg, Scott, Mike, Jim and Kevin.
Harriet has recently made a bit of a comeback in Britain, and the nickname "Hattie."
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the more "traditional" sounding baby boomer names have a revival in the next generation... names like Susan, Karen, Kevin, Greg, that actually have a longer history behind them. You really never can tell, though...
If I were thinking of names these days, I would look at some old fashioned names..like Louisa and Cornelia. I don't know why I like them, but I do.
I would also reuse more family names, since I know from studying the family genealogy that this really helps trace family members in the family tree.
met a woman who just named her daughter Alma and seemed upset when 3 times in the last month people have told her their grandmothers were named that. Did she think she invented the name Alma?
My name was on the top ten list in 1959. THREE TIMES! Various spellings, but all use the same nickname.
I know only one person who named their child Debbie in the last 30 years. I am sure there are more out there.
The name has fallen off the top ten.
I was born in 1953.....my parents almost named me Martha, after one of my grandmothers.......to this day........I am soooo glad they didn't.
