old fashioned names comeback
Since the old names are coming back, it got me thinking. Now the boys name Stanley is starting to grow on me. Your thoughts?

It is coming back. I know/met two babies with that name.
Cool
And a few years ago I remember being at some store and a child being called Stan. I told the person that it's refreshing to hear.
I like Stanley. I noticed not a lot of people do. I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to have the same success as some of the other old fashioned male names.
I always imagine a creepy guy with that name... I don't know why and I think it's just me, so don't worry about ;)
When I ignore that, and I think about its sound, etc., then it's an okay name; nothing great but also not bad.

I kind of like it.
Stanley doesn't appeal to me, though Stan does. I know a youngish Stanley, but it still doesn't seem likely to make a comeback. Perhaps the a and the -ley ending bring it too close to Ashley?
I knew a Stan once and assumed he was Stanley, but he was actually Stamatios, making life easy for his non-Greek friends.

It's okay. Stan is a cheery sort of name.
I like it. It's a bit frumpy and I tend to like that kind of names for boys.
