Re: Lesser Used Older Names For Girls
These names are already in the top 1000:
Frances - ranked #438, rising
Florence - charted in 2017, #979
Lucille - #262, rising {and knowing that many parents use this for "Lucy", which is #52, I wouldn't call this "lesser used" at all}
Edith - #476, rising
Beatrice - #559, steady
Estelle - #789, rising
Pearl - #650, fell in the last year
Faye - #710, rising
These are off chart & steady (within 5 births) from 2016 to 2017:
Betty
EthelThese are off chart but rising from 2016 to 2017:
Winifred - expect this to be on the chart in the 2020s.
PrudenceThese are off chart and falling from 2016 to 2017:
Doris
Thelma
Gertrude
If I were to use one, I'd use Beatrice. I also like (enough to use) Pearl, Faye, Edith, and Winifred.
