70s Names Ready for Revival? Baby Brandon, anyone?
Nameberry’s Question of the Week: What 70s to 80s name or names do you consider ready for revival?
Looking back over the popular names of two and three decades ago, are there any whose comeback time has come?
As a reminder:
The top girls’ names of the 1970s were Jennifer, Amy, Melissa, Michelle, Kimberly, Lisa, Angela, Heather, Stephanie and Nicole.
They were joined in the 1980s by Jessica, Amanda, Ashley, Sarah, and Elizabeth.
Seventies boys’ names—most of which are perennials– were Michael, Christopher, Jason, David, James, John, Robert, Brian, William and Matthew, joined in the next decade by Daniel, Joshua and Joseph.
The extended list can be seen, of course, at the Social Security site.
What do you think? Do any of those names sound fresh enough to be reborn?
