Take [name_f]Shirley[/name_f] [name_u]Temple[/name_u]'s filmography as an example. Are there any of her character’s names that a modern parent would be tempted to use?
I like:
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]
[name_f]Barbara[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
Some of them are definitely out there, though- like Morelegs and Dimples.
I really like these:
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]
[name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]
[name_f]Betty[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_u]Day[/name_u]
[name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
And I can see others going for these:
[name_f]Rebecca[/name_f]
[name_u]Penny[/name_u]
[name_f]Sara[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gloria[/name_f] (maybe more hipster parents but I feel like it’s super slowly coming back)
i like:
[name_f]Dinah[/name_f]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
i can see a lot of other people using a lot of the other names as well!
