Help[Opinions] Re: Beverly
in reply to a message by Perrine
I think it could make a comeback if there were a young Beverly in a popular show or movie, or maybe if a celebrity named their child Beverly.
I like it way better than Everly, which is definitely in the "trendy nonsense" category in my book, but I don't really care for Beverly, either. It's just not a pretty sound to me, especially "Bev." I like other popular names from Beverly's era, though -- it peaked at #14 for American girls in 1937. Here is the top 20 that year; I've starred the ones I'd be happy to see on a baby born in 2019.
*Mary
*Barbara
*Patricia
Shirley
*Betty
*Carol
Nancy
*Dorothy
*Joan
*Margaret
Joyce
*Helen
*Marilyn
Beverly
*Ruth
*Virginia
*Elizabeth
Janet
*Frances
*Carolyn
