a) Valerie Janet
Maureen Elizabeth
Sandra Christine
Anne Jennifer

---

b) I must confess, this really isn't my "era" when it comes to names. The only ones I could see myself using are Valerie, Maureen, Elizabeth, Sandra, Anne, and Jennifer - though the last probably just as a middle name, due to it being SO POPULAR in the states. Seriously, for almost 20 years it was the #1 name for American girls. The only girls' name more popular than that, and for a longer period of time, was Mary. And Mary needs to take a nice loooooooooooong break.

---

I love Margaret, Mary, Susan, Anne, and I like Christine and Patricia.

---

Mary Patricia
Anne Margaret
Susan Mary

---

I'd use Anne, Margaret, and maybe Susan now. I prefer Susannah, but Susan really does appeal to me.

I would go with Maureen Mary and Margaret Anne.

---

I would consider Margaret, Mary, Marueen, Elizabeth, and Anne. Many of the others are really dated (Patricia, Christine, Jean, Janet, Barbara, Carol, Pauline, Joan, Pamela, Jennifer, Kathleen) so I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole unless I was using it as an honoring name in the mn slot.

If I had to make two combos, they would be:

---

Susan Pauline

---

Pamela Margaret

---

Susan and Pamela are my two favorite names of the group and Pauline and Margaret are the two names I think go best with Susan and Pamela, though I don't particularly like either one. I wouldn't really use any of these names. Any of them could make a comeback. That's something that really can't be predicted.

Two combos:

---

Pamela Joan
Barbara Valerie

---

I think Mary will rise again.

The only one that I can even imagine rising in popularity is Sandra, but even then I'm not really certain. I just don't see these names becoming popular again anytime soon. However, Maureen is a HUGE guilty pleasure for me, I don't know what it is, but I just love it. Margaret I also really like.

---

Maureen Elizabeth and Mary Margaret are my combos :)

I've been savoring Patricia, Janet, and Pauline lately. How about Janet Patricia and Pauline Sandra?

Maureen

---

I was just telling my husband how much I loved the name. Maureen Ann and Joan Kathleen.

Favourites are Margaret, Mary, Jean and Elizabeth and maybe Kathleen. The combination Mary Jean I like as well as Margaret Anne.

---

I wouldn't use any of these names know except maybe Mary, but there are other names that I would use before Mary. Though in general maybe Valerie, Jennifer and Anne are still in use.

I love these names. They are romantic without being frilly.

---

(a) Pauline Mary and Barbara Joan

---

(b) I would love to see all of these used now. The ones with the most chance at making a comeback: Margaret, Mary, Valerie and Kathleen. The ones that I would especially love to see make a comeback: Maureen, Pauline and Joan.

---

:0)

Mary Elizabeth and Margaret Kathleen would be the combos I'd make.

---

I'd use Mary, because that was my mother's name, and I want to honor her, but the rest of the names aren't really my style.

These I like, or find OK: Margaret, Mary, Pauline, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Kathleen, Anne

---

If I had to name two daughters using these names, I'd go with Jennifer Pauline and Elizabeth Anne

---

I can see these rise again:
Margaret Patricia Christine Mary Susan Maureen Sandra Pauline Kathleen Anne

---

and especially Pauline

---

A. I like: Jennifer, Valerie and Margaret. Two combos would be: Valerie Anne Elizabeth and Jennifer Jean Margaret.

---

B. I think the name Jennifer is also still in, I also think Valerie and Carol will come back in.

---

a) Kathleen Mary and Margaret Joan

---

b) I don't live in a English-speaking country, so I don't think I have a possibility to use these names (unless I use their other forms like Elisabet). Still, I can definitely see that some of these names will make a comeback in a near future. My wild guess is that Carol, Pauline, Joan and Kathleen are going to be the next trendy (hipster?) names.

Well, I already used Valerie, which is still reasonably current here. Funny how Jennifer got popular in the UK quite a bit before it caught fire over here; I'm told the same is true of Heather and that both names are now seen as rather grandma-ish in the UK.

---

Pamela Kathleen would be very pretty. I would really like to see Kathleen get some more use, it seems fresher and less blah than Katherine ever does.

I was thinking about Janet the other day, and how it would be a pert new hipster choice and is actually really cute. I think a lot of these '30s and '40s names will start coming back soon. Pauline especially seems ripe for the edgy picking, it's still got some satisfying crunch to it.

---

I also really like Carol Anne as a double name, and I play around with Joan, Jennifer and Jean as middle often, to honour my great-great grandmother Jeanne "Jennie".

---

OK combos:

---

Carol Anne Christine "Carrie"
Janet Christine?
Janet Valerie oh yeah that's good hipster
Jennifer Janet awww
Pauline Mary
Sandra Pauline awwwwwww

Yeah, I'mma gonna agree with kudrishkajo and say that like none of these names appeal to me. I'm terrible at name trends but perphaps Pauline because didn't Vin Diesel use that for his daughter recently?

---

1. Kathleen 'Kit' Susan
2. Valerie Joan

a) Mary Elizabeth and Valerie Joan
b) Totally! I adore or like (in order of what I'd most likely use): Mary, Valerie, Jennifer, and Anne. I think Mary, Margaret, and Valerie might rise again.

Margaret Joan (Meg)
Elizabeth Mary (Ellie)

---

The only one I could see myself using is Elizabeth but with a definite nn (Ellie, Bess, Betsy, Libby, etc.).

Patricia Christine & Maureen Carol.

---

I'd use Patricia (late grandmother's name), Joan (mother's name), Christine, Janet, Sandra, Pamela, and Kathleen (but spelled with a C).

a)
I'd make the following two combos:
Carol Pauline
Janet Christine

---

b)
Carol would be my favorite. I wish it would come back in vogue at least a little bit. Everyone guffaws when I mention using it IRL. But I find it so charming, though I prefer Carole.

---

Susan, Janet, Kathleen, Pauline and Christine are also names I have really loved in the past. Pauline or Paulina especially.

---

I can see most of these coming back into vogue in about 10 years. They would be grandmother honoring in the States. This is a list of parents names to me (like, people in their 50s and 60s now). So, I guess the USA was a decade behind the naming styles for England & Wales!

Wow, the amount in which none of these appeal to me is quite overwhelming. :)

---

Um...

---

Valerie Christine - I think Valerie is my "favourite" from the bunch.
Margaret Jean - Margaret at least has Maggie or Mags to save it. :) Plus it is my mom's middle name.

---

Nope, there are none I would use now. I could actually see Valerie rising.

I've used Mary, Elizabeth and Anne as mns for my daughters - all family names, going back further than 1944 by decades.

---

I really like Margaret and Jean, and I don't mind Janet, Jennifer and Barbara, though Jenny bores me senseless.

---

Maureen and Pauline are just plain awful.

---

Pamela is pretty but Pam isn't; same problem with Patricia and Pat.

---

Interesting list - thanks!
