   That’s an interesting question! Here are a few older names that seem to have fallen out of favor and may not return to popularity for a while:

   1. Gertrude – This name has a vintage charm but feels quite dated.
   2. Mabel – While it has a sweet sound, it’s not commonly used today.
   3. Ethel – This name was popular in the early 20th century but is rarely heard now.
   4. Dorothy – Despite its classic roots, it’s not as trendy among new parents.
   5. Agnes – While it’s starting to see a slight revival among some, overall it remains uncommon.

   Trends in baby names often cycle, so you never know when a name might make a comeback! What older names do you think might return?
