Yes I remember all the Kylies and Jason’s from that era. Jordan also became very popular after Michael Jordan. Chardonnay was another one, it became popular after someone from TV as well.

I late 1800s a number of sons got called Beaconsfield after the Earl of Beaconsfield Tory PM Benjamin Disraeli. Fir political balance a number also were called Ewart Gladstone after William Ewart Gladstone the Liberal PM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was a railway signalman and worked with a guy called Leonard Duck, one of his kids was my age so when he was born in 1948 his dad called him….. drum roll, DONALD! Absolutely true I promise you, and this in a mining village in West Yorkshire! Imagine what his school years must have been like. There was Donald Duck in Seaham Co. Durham also a mining family. I wonder if they were related, or the same person? The age is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted January 18, 2023 #42107 Share Posted January 18, 2023 My niece named her daughter Esme after an old lady she had been nursing ehen she was pregnant who she said was the nicest person that she had ever met. The only person I had come across named Esme was a French lady that I had worked with but when I started to take our Esme to school I found that it was a really common name with various spellings, Ezme, Ezmay, Esmay, Essmay. I also noticed that some boys names are what I have always thought of as surnames Jackson, Harrison, Davidson. I guess each generation has a list of common names. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal names were very popular hence all the Charles, James, George, Anne’s, Victoria, Elizabeth’s etc. Some now are a little more ambitious and I can’t imagine them being shouted at the play park of at dinner time.

When he started out he was quite clean and he probably started swearing to keep up with other comedians, I remember the sketch he did back in the 70's " A wee swearie". I first saw him live in Sheffield when he did the big banana feet tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Rafferty went on to be the better musician from that group. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josy1953 Posted January 19, 2023 #42119 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) 8:30 and the snow is pristine so I think that the workers and the 3 children who live in our road must be taking a snow day off. I will be staying inside again. ❄️ Edited January 19, 2023 by Josy1953 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted January 19, 2023 #42120 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Talking names, it is ;funny how some of them really date you. Mine is an 'all time' one, which is lucky. A while ago we knew anyone called Gladys, Ethel, Alfred, Herbert etc. was likely to be pretty old - but some of those names are coming back in, which is possibly a good thing. (If you like them of course). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
