One of LO's friends is Josephine and Eleanor was on our list of girls names! I also feel like Rose is a pretty popular middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484801 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:09:51 +0000 pui 1484801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beatrice is such a pretty name... Unfortunately DH hates it. </p> <p>For some reason I thought Eleanor was really popular still? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484799 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:08:37 +0000 mlm2934 1484799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I can say, most of those names aren't being used in the south for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484792 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:04:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1484792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK, this is a ridiculous list.</p> <p>Blanche, Ethel, Josephine, Eleanor, Opal, and Beatrix/ce are ALL AWESOME NAMES that are increasing in popularity, not declining.</p> <p>I agree with Barbara, Phyllis,Gladys, Ilene, and Marge, but that's about it.</p> <p>I LOVE the names Ethel, Opal, and Beatrix. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484777 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 17:58:26 +0000 mrs. wagon 1484777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a bunch of Eleanors!</p> <p>And Hello, JOSEPHINE!! ;) you better recognize our very own Lil Miss Wagon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484727 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 17:25:58 +0000 keiki_mama 1484727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beatrice is a top contender for our LO.

We're pretty sure we're one and done, but DH and I already agreed that if we had another girl she'd likely be Beatrice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484432 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 15:06:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1484432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: eleanor, though i doubt dh will like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484392 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:54:46 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1484392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fun read, but off the mark for at least 50% of the names. I didn't think the commentary was great either - I don't think of the word agony when I think of Agatha at all. </p> <p>I thought Dorothy would be on the list for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484352 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:40:41 +0000 Ginabean3 1484352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: same.....my fave author of all time is Agatha Christie...so it would have been a nod to her! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484349 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:39:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1484349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most of the list is correct but not all! My niece is named Josephine, and so it Mrs. Wagon's daughter! I think it's still fairly common. I also think they are pretty off-base with Eleanor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484308 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:26:48 +0000 mamimami 1484308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rattles: Exactly what I was thinking! I mean, do a little homework! </p> <p>Anyway I think Agatha is to die for. If my husband hadn't totally vetoed it I'd have a little Agatha running around my house right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484299 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:24:47 +0000 Mommy Finger 1484299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS would have been named Eleanor if he was a girl. We would have called her Ella. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484298 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:24:21 +0000 rattles 1484298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the author had checked the charts in a while, but fun nonetheless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484296 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:23:20 +0000 loveisstrange 1484296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of these super old-fashioned names are actually really trendy right now. Rose and Eleanor going extinct? Are they kidding? Josephine will be our next DDs middle name.</p> <p>I have to say I dont agree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484289 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:21:53 +0000 MrsH 1484289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like some of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484285 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:20:28 +0000 chopsuey 1484285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We considered Beatrix and Eleanor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484258 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:13:12 +0000 spaniellove 1484258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are totally off the mark with some of these choices! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/female-names-headed-for-extinction#post-1484239 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:05:40 +0000 Ginabean3 1484239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a fun read.
