Mildred
This popular name used to be in the top 10 but hasn't been since 1984.
Ethel
This name used to be very popular, but in 1975 it stopped being used.
Gladys
This name was popular at one time and was in style until 1999.
Clarence
This noble name for boys was in the top 1,000 until 2010.
Bessie
This name, which people now often think of when they see a cow, was no longer cool in 1975.
Bertha
This name was used until 1985, which is pretty amazing.
Earl
This old favorite stopped being popular in 2006.
Gertrude
This name, which is often shortened to the cuter nickname Trudy, hasn't been in the top 1000 since 1965.
Herbert
Surprisingly, Herbert stayed on the list all the way through 2002.
Elmer
If you give your child this old name, people will make a lot of glue jokes about them. Even so, this name stayed in the top thousand until 2009.
Agnes
Even though some people with this name were born in 1972, it sounds like an old lady's name.
Minnie
This cute name fell out of favor in 1971, maybe because of a popular cute mouse.
Lester
This name for an old man stayed on the list until 1999.
Blanche
This name makes me think of the Golden Girls, but it doesn't really say "baby" and hasn't been on the list since 1964.
