Funny, considering that Evelyn is in the top 50 and Eleanor and Tallulah are definitely moving up the list. I'd say these already have/are having their comeback...so you've missed the boat here.
I'm kind of in love with a lot of these names and a few of them make an appearance on my list!
Example: LOVE Henrietta, Gertrude, Pearl, Hazel, Penelope, Eleanor, Evelyn, Tallulah, Arthur, Beulah, Dorothy, Agnes, Archibald, Cornelius, Harriet, Abraham and Bartholomew. The majority of those make my list!
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
I agree with Chester and Bertha not making a comeback.
Kermit (love the frog muppet but wouldn't saddle an actual child with this name)
Roscoe (DH's great-grandfather)
Otho (DH's grandfather)

"And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so wide and deep that nothing but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up." - Charles Dickens

Keep em coming...I'm getting some great ideas! I love about 90% of these names!
Also, I don't think Hagatha is a real name...

Ida
Mildred
Kermit (love the frog muppet but wouldn't saddle an actual child with this name)
