Subject: The Next New Old Name

I'm doing some Sunday evening Wiki-serfing, and one thing that surprises me (as I pursue articles about historical figures) is the sheer number of women named Isabella from around the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance eras, well into Spain's first Queen Regent. It reminded me of Victoria and Alexandra; names with a whole lot of history, but (to my knowledge) not much usage until the mid 20th century.

Which got me thinking... what do you suppose has the potential to be the next old name tearing up the charts? Lenore/ Lenora? Agatha? Brunhilda?!
