babynamesyesterday an elderly friend of my mom's was ooh-ing over my baby, then declared that she thinks someone (anyone, I guess) should name their baby Beatrice (her name). I told her it's possible, since her generation's names are coming back for the next generation's babies. she replied "oh good! does that mean we're done with Tiffany and Madison?" (both names I absolutely hate, btw) I said Tiffany no one's used in ages, but Madison unfortunately is still popular for current use...
I'd definitely choose Beatrice over the other two...

Date: 2007-05-07 05:32 pm (UTC)I see little Evelyns popping up all over, and that to me is an old lady name. it's my grama's name, and my daughter's middle name. I didn't even like it when I picked it, I just wanted to name her for my grama! I'm awaiting the 2006 social security name site so I can see where it falls now.
I think there's an odd mix of old names and other trendy made up names being popular now, which can overshadow the old names.

Date: 2007-05-06 08:22 pm (UTC)Beatrice, however, I'm not keen on, but that might be because I was an avid reader of Judy Blume's "Ramonna" series of books. The eldest sister (who was SO annoying) was named Beatrice.
