Rosalie
Rosalie hit its apex in 1938 and then slid straight downhill until it fell off the US Top 1000 completely in the 1980s, only to spring back to life in 2009 as the name of a character in the Twilight series. The beautiful vampire Rosalie has breathed fresh life back into this midcentury name, and the fact that the character is both sympathetic and relatively minor means Rosalie has the chance to thrive again as a baby name without feeling unduly tied to Twilight.
