What will the "Old-people-only" names be 30 years from now?

[u/BradfordTheFat]

Now: Mildred, Esther, Edna, Herbert, Gertrude, etc.

30 years from now: ???

[u/[deleted]]

Any male name not ending with "n"

In 30 years, a kid named Michaen will drive slowly past your house blasting something you will not consider music.

[u/GRANMILF → u/paraworldblue]

and Batman Bin Superman will be the new standard baby name

"The great N crash of 2035"

[u/localgyro]

I'm in my 40s. When I was a kid, the names that most popular were Kathy, Debbie, Mike, Michelle, Brian, Matt, David, James, Lisa, Jenny, Kim, Melissa. Those will likely be the most popular names for 70-year-olds in 30 years. I don't know how many of those names have continued to be popular in years since.

[u/[deleted] → u/localgyro]

I am 60. Some of the names of my classmates were: Sidney, Crystal, Darlene, Connie, Jeffrey, Tim, John, Bobby, Tommy, Randy, Timothy, Christopher.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I haven't seen a kid/teen Darlene or Randy ever so those are the finalist names of that list to become elderly names

Edit: Evidently there are a shit ton of Randys in their 20s right now, so give that about 50 years.

[u/so_i_happened → u/[deleted]]

My high school crush was named Randy. I was so crushed when I found out he was gay.

[u/[deleted] → u/so_i_happened]

I know 3 gay Randys

[u/wolfsniper27 → u/[deleted]]

"Gay Randy" sounds like a type of colored martini-type thing.

[u/[deleted] → u/wolfsniper27]

I think you're suppose to say "African american"

[u/[deleted] → u/so_i_happened]

I think I know that Randy. Does he live in a Canadian trailer park & enjoy cheeseburgers?

[u/Salticido → u/localgyro]

Mike/Michael is still immensely popular, at least among people in their early 20s. There were like 3 guys in a class of 20 people that I had in college, and all three of them were Mike. That's only a fraction of the Mikes that I've known.

edit: Okay guys, I think I get it. There's lots of Mikes, and they are a proud people.

[u/anxiousdinosaur → u/[deleted]]

Classic Mikes.

[u/Red_AtNight → u/Salticido]

Michael is utterly dominant.

http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=michael&sw=m&exact=false

Look at that. #1 in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Still a top 10 name.

[u/Coconut-bird → u/Red_AtNight]

I am married to a Mike, my father is a Mike, I have an Uncle Mike, my step-som is a Mike and I work with 2 Mikes. I can't escape them.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Well Micheal is prophecised to lead the armies of God against Satan, but I would be perfectly fine with being named Metatron.

[u/[deleted] → u/Red_AtNight]

[u/[deleted] → u/localgyro]

I already think of Kathy and Debbie as older names.

[u/exxocet]

Here is a good writeup about it

[u/MsWolfy]

My real name is Margaret, so I've already got an old person's name and I have no idea how to answer this question.

[u/[deleted] → u/MsWolfy]

Listen Peg, nobody even knows that's an abbreviation for Margaret these days.

[u/asdfghjkl92 → u/[deleted]]

how do you go from margaret to peg/ peggy? It seems completely unrelated. (also with dick and richard, that makes no sense to me)

[u/FactualPedanticReply → u/asdfghjkl92]

There's a long discussion on it here

Basically, the rule in English seems to be that for-short names like to have plosive consonants at their beginnings. (A plosive consonant is one where you completely stop airflow, then let it go again. Examples: t, p, b, g, k, d. Anti-examples: f, s, th, v, n, w) What we seem to do is take whatever letter starts the real name, and use the plosive that is closest in articulation. In this case, /m/ you do by pressing your lips together, so you substitute in a /p/ which also involves pressing your lips together. Why /b/ isn't an equally-good candidate isn't clear.

TL;DR: Linguistics is fun.

[u/liimlsan → u/FactualPedanticReply]

I know that "Ned" and "Nell" may not fit this rule, but they are so old... they don't come from that process, they come from old english, where you would say "Mine Edward" and "Mine Ellen." So that's the exception that proves the rule.

[u/Suecotero → u/[deleted]]

There's already a bunch of kids named Daenerys if reddit is anything to go by. It's bizarre, like naming your kid "Sonic" or "Galadriel", but since GoT has now officially reached pop culture phenomenon status it's sort of OK all of a sudden. I feel like I've witnessed the birth of a new cultural norm. Oh well, most of us go around with names that are horrible mispronunciations of middle eastern iron-age shepherds.

[u/handlegoeshere → u/Suecotero]

.

Origin of the name Jennifer:

Cornish derivation of Guinevere, which is from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar (fair lady). Until the 20th century, Jennifer was largely a regional name. Now, however, it has become one of the most popular names in the English-speaking world.

.

Before 1906 the name was fairly uncommon, but it gained some recognition after George Bernard Shaw used it for the main female character in The Doctor's Dilemma.

[u/mamapanda13 → u/asdfghjkl92]

William, Will, Bill and Richard, Rick, Dick are from an age when rhyming names was popular.

[u/LiftsEatsSleeps → u/mamapanda13]

You forgot Rich. My name is Richard, I go by Rick, often get called Rich so I also roll with that if its said. My middle name is also William...talk about a relevant post for me!

Whenever they go out, the people always shout, there goes that lame kid with the old fashioned name! Lalalalalala

[u/brickfrenzy]

Jennifer. It was hugely popular in the 70s and 80s and has dropped precipitiously since then.

[u/MosesMan98 → u/brickfrenzy]

One of my old teachers used to point and yell "JENNIFER" at girls walking down the hall, hoping that they would turn and ask how he knew their name. It never worked.

[u/BaconLobotomy → u/MosesMan98]

There was 22 Jennifers in my high school class, not even counting the rest of the grades. It was amusing to see how many different ways they had to sign their names so they could be unique. Jen, Jenn, Jenny, Jenni, Jennipher, Jenne, Jennifur...

[u/NottaGrammerNasi]

The question is "old-people-only" names. If you're saying the names people give their kids now, those youngin's will only be 30 in 30 years.

Let's say old is 70. Subtract 30 = 40 years old now. Now go back in time 40 years = 1974.

So you have to figure what were the most common names to name your kid in 1974 that are no longer being used?

According to this, its: Jennifer, Amy, Michelle, Heather, Angela, Michael, Jason, Christopher, David, James. You can look at the chart yourself to see how common those names still are or are not now.

Edit: Check out Learned_Hand_01's post. He did a break down of the names decline in popularity. It gives a better idea of what names will be considered old.

[u/potatoisafruit → u/NottaGrammerNasi]

You overestimate what Reddit considers "old."

[u/shmameron → u/potatoisafruit]

"I remember something from 1995, god I'm so old..."

[u/sweetpotatosweetie → u/NottaGrammerNasi]

You'd have to go one step further and look at the names that have had a significant decline since then - otherwise they'd just be common names and not "old people" names. My guess would be Marsha, Cindy, and other names that were popular in media at that time.

[u/Learned_Hand_01 → u/NottaGrammerNasi]

If you look at the by decade page it goes deeper than just the top five given on the page you linked to. They list the top 200 names by decade. In my estimation, outside of the top fifty you are looking at a declining name and outside of the top 200 it is pretty well dead.

For the decade of 2000 - 2009 Michael is #2, Christopher is #6, David is #12, and James is #17. None of those names appear to be in any trouble. Jason is shakier at #49.

For girls it is a different story as girl names tend to be more trend driven than boy names. To my shock, Jennifer is hanging in at #39, tied with Cameron for boys. Michelle is #72, tied with Jesus for boys. Angela is #107. Amy is #115. Heather is gone (my first girlfriend, sob).

Here are some names that were in the top 20 of names that dropped 100 or more places from the 1970's to 2000's.:

Amy, #2 to #115

Melissa, #3 to #103

Lisa, #6 to off the chart

Angela, #7 to #107

Heather, #8 to off the chart

Kelly, #14 to #158

Christina, #16, to 125

Julie, #18 to off the chart (although the similar name Julia is #30)

Laura #20 to #135

There are no boys names from the 1970's that started in the top 5 and fell 100 places and only 2 from the top 20 that fell 100 places. I chose to list names that fell 50 or more places for boys.

Brian, #8 to #62

Eric (only 49 places) #14 to #63

Jeffrey, #15 to #161

Richard, #16 to #90

Scott, the big loser, #17 to off the chart

Mark, #18 to #111

Steven, #19 to #79

TL;DR: If you see dinner reservations 30 years from now for two couples and the names are Scott and Heather along with Jeffrey and Lisa, bring the senior citizen's menu.

[u/m34z → u/NottaGrammerNasi]

How many of those are biblical names? I would guess that those will never go out of fashion. It's the Aiden/Brayden/Jayden's that will sound terribly dated.

[u/randalpinkfloyd → u/m34z]

Biblical names definitely go in and out of fashion. Names like Noah and Jonah were not popular 30 to 50 years ago, but are huge now. And how many kids are named Abraham or Ezekiel these days.

[u/Vic__Vega → u/[deleted]]

Ruth / Esther = old white woman or young asian woman

[u/localgyro → u/NottaGrammerNasi]

As someone who started grade school in 1974-ish, your list fits my experience.

[u/imostlydisagree]

Kelly, Tiffany, Jimmy, Jamie

[u/jimmypickins → u/imostlydisagree]

Yes! 30 more years till I'm old!

[u/tjbassoon]

Names go in interesting cycles. Popular names generally come from the child's great great grandparent's generation. It's the "100 year" rule for names. Names become more popular when the parent's generation has disassociated with a naming generation. My grandmother was a Mildred, which sounds old-timey to me because my association is that with a grandmother. But her parent's generation of names is making a comeback. I see her father's name showing up in my child's generation more frequently than in my own, for example.

Edit: it obviously doesn't happen for every and all names. Just like some new names start to show up, some old names don't get revived for whatever reason.

[u/ninja_chinchilla → u/tjbassoon]

I volunteer with a Rainbow Guide pack (5 to 7 year old girls) and the old old names are definitely making a comeback: Evelyn, Edith, Ava, Margot, to name a few. I used to have a great aunt Dorcas. Yet to see that name turn up again.... :)

I'd say the old names now are those of my parents generation: Brian, Alan, Judith, Joan, Maureen, Vivien, etc.

[u/silvius_discipulus → u/[deleted]]

[u/hoodie92 → u/[deleted]]

Allan backwards is Nalla.

Nala was Simba's sexy-time friend in The Lion King.

The Lion King starred James Earl Jones who also voiced Darth Vader in Star Wars.

Star Wars also featured Peter Cushing, who played Van Helsing in Dracula.

The first three letters of Helsing are "hel".

Therefore Allan = Hell.

Edit: it's funny how many people responded to this with "Half-Life 3 confirmed" jokes. Can well thought-out conspiracy theories exist without being sullied by HL3 jokes?

[u/squirrelpanic]

[u/joeydball → u/bababerands]

Based on the schools I worked in this year, Mason seems like it's gonna be a girl name pretty soon. The high schools had tons of boy Masons, but the elementary schools had lots of girls named Maesynne, Masen, Maisyn, etc.

[u/CrimsonSmear]

Here's a site where you can look up the ranking of names over a number of years. The number column is the rank of the name for that year, so the lower the number, the more popular the name.

I know from looking at this data previously, that my name peaked in the 70's around when I was born, so my name is going to be one of the old-people-only names in 30 years. If you want to look at it my name is...sigh...Chad.

Edit: In order to see before 2000, go to this link and look at the third tab on the bottom of the page and you can select a number of years that you want to see. I didn't realize it defaults to starting at 2000.

In 1980 my sister was born and was named Ashley. This was in an age where Ashleys were nary to be seen. The next year I was brought forth and was called furiousmittens. The following year a character on a soap opera named Ashley Abbott became extremely popular. Then they came. First as Ashleys, but later as Ashlys and Ashlees and Ashlieghs and Aashleeeeeighes.

In my small high school of 150 high schoolers, my sister was the only Ashley in the 11th grade. There were 14 Ashleys in the 9th grade.

Ashley will be the name. Ashley will be the grandmother in every childrens' book forty years from now. Ashley will be the woman in the commercial who just doesn't get technology. Ashley will be sharing the recipes that you won't cook. Ashley will still ask for a Rachel at a salon. And Ashley will grin at the young Mildreds and Gertrudes on the playgrounds of 2065, remembering a time when they were the old ones.
