Default Shocking research reveals bleedin' obvious

BBC NEWS | UK | Traditional names are 'dying out'

The most uncommon boys names:

Norman
Walter
Percy
Harold
Ernest
Herbert
Clifford

Actually some of those are ok "Harold" obviously shortens to "Harry" and thats ok, and I know a few Normans. My old mans name is Cliff.

And for the girls :

Gertrude
Edna
Ethel
Irene
Ada
Norah
Olive

There is not a single name here that conjours up an image of anything other that grey hair & wrinkes.
