Anything trendy is bound to come back in style if you wait long enough and, for baby names, that apparently take a century.
According to the 100 year rule, names come back in style again long after after their heyday. That means names like Olive, Felix and Otis that were fashionable in the 1920s are set to become popular for babies born in the 2020s.
Name expert Sophie Kihm at Nameberry says it's popular for babies names' to take after ones that were popular in their great-grandparents' generation. The unfortunate reason why, she explained, is that name trends only begin to feel fresh for the taking when the generation that previously hard them are no longer with us.
As reported by the Mirror, she said: "Trends come in cycles. Whether it's fashion or beauty, what was once popular will come back in style again - and it's no different with baby names. According to name expert Sophie Kihm at Nameberry, monikers follow a 100 year rule, meaning names you think are uncool now will likely get popular in the next century.
As unbelievable as it may seem, names like Brenda and Gary could live to see another day.
"Names tend to go out of fashion after they’ve been stylish for a while," explained Sophie.

"Often, it can be measured in generations. Names tied to parents' parents' generation (the grandparents of the baby) are usually considered to be among the least fashionable choices one could use for a baby, like Brenda and Gary today."
"Once a name is on the decline, we expect it to follow the 100-year rule – names take about 100 years to come back into fashion. That means names of the great-grandparent generation are starting to sound fresh again."
