I wish Bertha and Hortense (English pronunciation) could be rescued from their perception as hopelessly ugly names. I love both!As for boys, I'd love to see a Kermit resurgence.
I'd love to see the names rendered obsolete because of cartoons or kids shows on real people again.Barney, Casper, Elmo, Kermit, Clifford, Homer, BartWilma, Velma, Marge.... I'm pulling a blank here. What other female names now seem silly on an actual person because of a cartoon or children's show?
Many people associate my beloved Prunella with a secondary character in Arthur, but I don't think that association is the main reason why people deem the name unusable...Would Waldo fit in this group, too? And maybe Helga from Hey Arnold!?
Waldo and Helga, yes!
Boys: Roland, Alfred, Allen, Lawrence.
Girls: Irene, Gloria, Cynthia, Michelle, Ida, Loretta, Lorena, Clarissa, Lucille, Margaret.
Unisex: Shannon.

I'm genuinely surprised these aren't in the top 1000.
I’m so surprised Louis isn’t higher on the charts already!
Deborah
Gerald
Deborah is excellent: Debby, Debbie, Debs etc unfortunately aren't.
I like Gerald, not so much Deborah.
