What is a name that isn't really bad...

AllThatGlitters101

that you never hear anymore? I never hear Kirk, which I don't think is bad. I also don't hear of any younger girls nn Beth.

I'm sure there are lots out there. Can you think of some?

My name is Kimberly and while it's not a bad name, it's not common anymore.

My name is Jill and the name isn't even in the top 1000 for baby names these days.  People would rather name their babies fancy glittery things such as Diamond and Nevaeh than something simple like Jill .

The name Dawn is also rare these days.  I used to love it when I read the "Babysitter's Club" series.

Some other names I rarely hear on babies and kids:

Susan, Carol, Hillary, June, Evangeline.... 

There are a lot of great under-used names out there.  Every baby doesn't need to be named Emma or Isabella .

BrideBuddies

My friends' 3 year old is Laurie.  That's a great name.

And I'm Suzanne... which is a good, standard name.

I don't love the name Keith, but it's not very popular anymore. Kevin is a name I love and never hear anymore either, other then my uncle. Also, Danielle, Valerie, I haven't heard Michelle in awhile.

Kirsten/Keirsten. I really like this name and have only ruled it out b/c it's so commonly mispronounced.

I like the name Kent, but DH didn't like it so we didn't use it.

Jane.  I think that some people still use it as a mn, but as popular as it once was, it hasn't made a comeback yet.

A lot of the simple short names ppl aren't using anymore (at least not as a first name). Examples: Anne, Jane, Mary, Susan, etc.
