Most of those old names were fine in their time. I just feel sorry for all the kids of the hippies who had all those really stupid names; like all too many hollywood types and their ego's which make them give their kids horrible names. I always considered giving your kid a name that will result in lots of jokes and torment in school and elsewhere a form of child abuse.

My grandfather (God rest his soul) had the name Felix. As much as I would love to name my firstborn after him, I don't know if I could get away with it.

Some names you just don't hear anymore:
1)Elmer. First and only time I heard this name was in grade school 38 years ago. Felt sorry for the kid. Never met anyone since with that name. Even the glue needs a new name.
2)Homer. Richard Gere named his kid Homer, after Home run and baseball. Homer Simpson didnt help this name.
3)Jethro
4)Bertha. Never met a girl with this name. Implies big, very big.
5)Adolf. For obvious reasons.
6)Gomer. This name is actually in the bible.
7)Ester. I had an Aunt Ester back when polyester was in style.

Any others? Any you wish were extinct?

My grandfather first name is Homer

I gotta think the name "Monica" took a serious hit around the late 90s.

One of my business partners just named her baby girl "Esther" -- I gotta think that's a pretty rare name these days.

I've never liked that name, I knew one person named that, a very nice woman, but that name gives me the piss shivers.

Wyatt is actually popular these days.

The first one that comes to mind is Harry.

The youngest Harry I've heard of is Harry Connick Jr.

Letterman's son is Harry, named for his Dad. Although, I've heard Letterman refer to him as "Hank" on a few occasions.
