Help[Opinions] Top Names from 1950
Most of us are familiar with the "100 Year Rule" - names popular 100 years ago become popular again. I wondered if any names popular 75 years ago could sprint ahead of the 100-year trend. Do you think any of these could seem fresh and get a revival ahead of their time?
