HelpRe: 1940s names - the sequel
in reply to a message by Pie
a) Even though the name is perennially popular, I have never personally felt any "youthful" vibe from George. I think it's the double soft 'g' sound that makes it seem harsh... but several past King Georges probably didn't help. Paul, Roy, Leslie (m), and Bernard feel explicitly dated, though, beyond my personal preferences.
b) I've met a Graham my age, and it didn't seem bizarre at all. Actually it's a pretty cool name to have. Same with Ian, Geoffrey, and Derek. Names like Ronald, Edward, Joseph, Charles, and Stephen will always be used. Dennis and Eric are okay, but I'm not a huge fan of Patrick, Philip, or Trevor.
Malcolm, on the other hand, is perhaps my favorite male name.
c)
Malcolm Charles
Graham Edward
Ian Geoffrey
