Re: old fashioned names comeback
Stanley doesn't appeal to me, though Stan does. I know a youngish Stanley, but it still doesn't seem likely to make a comeback. Perhaps the a and the -ley ending bring it too close to Ashley?I knew a Stan once and assumed he was Stanley, but he was actually Stamatios, making life easy for his non-Greek friends.

What about Stanford?

Wouldn't work for me - where I live it's an upmarket holiday village when it isn't a surname! It has a good sound to it, but the thought of naming children after a university isn't appealing. Like Prince or Duke or Doctor.
