Most of the names I wish would be used more are names that are so rare (where I live) that they would be often mispronounced. Esme
Carys
Havilah
Iseult
Leyontine
Naida
RoisinElias (I like the EE-lee-as pronunciation)
Aneirin

Lydia (Future daughter (:
Elowen (I've been hearing more and more about this name. Most people seem to like it. I predict that we will see the name listed soon enough. In a few years time, give or take. If it ever does, I just hope that no alternative spellings follow. Elowyn for example. Yuck!
Aaralyn (I known made-up Lyn names can be irritating and obnoxious but I can't help it. Aaralyn sounds extremly beautiful! Very pleasant sounding to the ears.
Cole (Future son (:
Adrian (A much better alternative to Aiden\Aidan)

I agree about Elowen.But I think that Lydia, Adrian, and Cole are being or used to be used pretty frequently already.

Pearl is definitely on the up in the UK. Someone I know a little announced his daughter, Nancy Pearl' birth a couple of days ago (not a fan; too cutesy)I'd like to see Mary used more as a first name on it's own. I like old English names too, Aelfric, Edwy, Fritha & Gytha could do with a bit more love in my view
