HelpRe: 1940s names
in reply to a message by Pie
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!
