Names you just don't hear anymore

Are there any first/middle names of people you know that you just don't hear anymore. My best friend's middle name is Antoinette which I am really starting to like and my dad's middle name is Herbert (his dad's name). I know no one else with these names (Marie Antoinette excluded). Do you?

My grandma's name is Antonina and when she came to the US they changed it to Antonette. The only Herbert I know is a dog.

I absolutely love the name Antoinette. I only know Herbert as a last name.

I haven't heard the name Hamilton in a long time. That's my grandfather's name. Also haven't heard Othniel or Kirsten in a while.

I used to work for a woman named Antoinette, she went by Andy. Don't know any Herberts.

I had a friend in elementary school and her name was Antoinette. I also know another that I met in high school. Other than that name, I also never hear the name Mamie anymore. It's my grandmother's name, and of course back then it was a fairly common name but I've always thought it was beautiful. I plan to name my future daughter Mamie.

I had a patient named Antoinette and she was early 30's.

Herbert is cute, but the only I can think of is the former President (Hoover). Smile


I love my boys! (DS, Furbaby, and DH)

Herbert was my pediatrician's name. I went to HS with an Antoinette and I grew up in church with an Antoinette.

I met a baby named Dennis last night. That was quite surprising!

I have a friend with Antoinette as a middle name.

How about Gladys? My aunt's name is Gladys.

My mom's first name is Vida (Vy-dah).  She was named after her grandma.  I've never heard it anywhere.

Haha I don't like Herbert for a baby either! I don't really know why my grandfather went by Herbert because his first name was William which I like a lot better. His brother and sisters went by their middle names too but I don't know why.

I knew one Herbert.  He was a classmate of mine.  

I know two women named Antoinette.  One was my boss, the other was my brother's friend.
