💙 Baby boy arrived Sunday, 6 December 2020. 💙 We named him Sebastian Jude Lowen (a Cornish name which means happy) Big brother and sister are already in love with him, and so are we. He’s truly the best way to end 2020!

Percy has been my guilty pleasure since I was a teen! I'm also really feeling an Edgar as an alternative to Edward shortened to Ted as a family name. I also think Gilbert is adorable, a little Gilly or Bertie is so cute to me! I love vintage names, I love that they are recognised by all and not difficult to read or spell but still quirky!

I recently met a toddler named Dennis. His parents are from the Middle East so he has the most beautiful dark eyes, straight black hair and the perfect olive skin. He was the sweetest.. I don’t know if I’d ever use it but he definitely made it useable for me! Such a sweet name!

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

I felt a huge connection to this list, as so many of my family names were mentioned! I was actually going to be born Harold if I had been a boy, and I was going to be Hal for short. Gerald and Basille (feminine version of Basil) are the names of my 15 year old cats. Not to mention my dad’s Dalmatian was called Hubert. Ralph is the name of my 34 year old brother - Given that my mum then had an Eleanor and then me, Freya, she was way ahead of all the name trends as our three names are flying up to the top.

[@mercy2084]

Norman probably makes people think of that movie, "Psycho." Dennis probably reminds people of "Dennis the Menace." Leslie is mostly a girl's name. Many of these names sound like old man names.

[@oddmnemosyne2869]

Leslie is traditionally masculine has a far longer history of use as a man's name than as a woman's name. It was very trendy on girls for a brief period of time and even then it was still used for men. I definitely wouldn't call it "mostly" a girl's name.

[@ellesmith5383]

Yes that’s because they were popular in the 1920’s

[@thehufflepuffhermione]

1. John is my grandfather's middle name. I absolutely adore it. 2. Kenneth is the name my other grandfather choose when he decided to change his name. 3. I know quite a few Roberts. Most of them go by Bob or Bobby and are over 50. I do know one Robert who is 25 who goes by Rob. 4. Alby is one of the middle names we choose for our future son. 5. I think we see Leslie as a girl's name these days. 6. Eric could be after Prince Eric in the Little Mermaid. 7. My grandma's second husband had a son named Dennis who went by Denny. There is also a Dennis in my church. 8. David is my boyfriend's father's name. 9. Norman reminds me of Norm from Cheers. Norman is also the name of Norman Bates from Psycho and Bates Motel. 10. Ernest reminds me of Ernest T. Bass from The Andy Griffith Show. 11. Leonard should be making a comeback because it's the name of Leonard Hofstadter on The Big Bang Theory and he was named after Sheldon Leonard who created The Andy Griffith Show. I would expect a name like that from a popular TV to be coming back but it's mostly Leo that is popular. 12. Alfie/Alfred could be popular again because of vlogger Alfie Deyes. 13. Donald is my grandfather's original first name. I don't think that will ever make a comeback. At least not until the gen-z generation is long gone. 14. Harry could be super popular due to the rising popularity of Harry Styles. 15. I don't know if Reginald will be popular again. Even Elton John didn't want to use it. 16. Richard makes me think of Richard Bucket from Keeping Up Appearances. 17. Gordon makes me think of Gordon Ramsey. 18. John McCain's middle name was Sidney. 19. Maurice is Belle's father in Beauty and the Beast. 20. Anthony is one of my three cousin's names. 21. I feel like Derek is an '80s name. 22. Alexander is still a super popular one in America. 23. Interestingly enough there is an Edwin on the Candian and Disney Channel show Life With Derek. 24. Ralph could be popular again because of the Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph. 25. We plan to name our future son Perseus and nickname him Percy. 26. Daniel is still a super popular name in America. 27. Andrew is the brother of the Robert I know that is 25. Their other brother is David. 28. Stephen is my dad's name. 29. Edgar is my grandpa's name and he hates it so much that he wants everyone to call him Rik. Edgar is also the name of the villain in the Disney movie The Aristocats. 30. I know a 25-year-old Martin. 31. I know a 25-year-old Graham. His twin is Elliott. 32. Howard should be coming back for the same reason as Leonard. The Big Bang Theory is a huge show. 33. Gilbert will always remind me of Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. 34. Edmund reminds me of the Chronicles of Narnia. 35. I know an Ivan who was I think 2nd in my class in high school.

I’ve always had the name Robert on my list after my dad and would use the nickname Bertie, he played a very special part in my life so I think it would be lovely to honour him :)

[@bakerbrewz]

I love names that honor family! Such a beautiful gift to give I believe

[@MrsTabamon]

My fav from this list is Ernest! Maybe Gossip Girl could be a contributor to the Eric popularity?

[@ilbethedreamer]

As soon as I heard Eric, I thought of Gossip girl!!!

[@annekaswitzer]

Percy is on my name list (not that I'm having a baby any time soon) but I absolutely love it! I'd also love to use the name Roy as that was my grandpa's name but not really sure if now is the right time for that name.

[@sierrasmith5870]

Sidney, Jack and Charles have always been some of my favorites!!

[@milliesok7133]

I taught an Ernest one year who went my Ernie, too cute! There was also a Herbert in that class who went by Herbie. Iver is in the Vikings tv show and the new assassins creed Valhalla game. Might make it popular! Ivan is my brother and my other brother is Otto. My mum was def ahead of the trend.

Ronald/Ron, Fred, Peter, Albee (Albus) - sounds like the Harry Potter generation is having babies!

[@cambriavictory]

My baby Grandson's name is Peter. I love it.

[@morwennas9247]

i love laurence/ laurie and eric - reminds me of the little mermaid but who doesn’t love that eric!

[@MyRamblingRose86]

My great-grandfather's name was Sonder. The meaning is: the realization that every person is living a life is complicated as your own. I always thought that was a beautiful name for an empathetic child

[@brennachristinebatres5456]

And you could call him Sonnie for short. Love it.

[@cute-and-anonymous5825]

American here! your American accent for Graham was spot on 😂😂😂

[@saragerahart7666]

Raymond is on my list after my dad, he passed away when I was 3.5, so I have always wanted to name my first boy after him.
